Quick Answer
Pillsbury has expanded its refrigerated Grands Poppin Flavor line with four new nationwide releases: Mike's Hot Honey Biscuits, Maple Biscuits, Raspberry Fruit Rolls, and Apple Fruit Rolls. The biscuits land between 180 and 190 calories per piece, and the fruit rolls between 220 and 230 calories per piece including the included icing or glaze.
The launch sits inside Pillsbury's existing Grands tube format, so they bake the same way as the standard Grands lineup at 350 F (177 C) for 13 to 17 minutes. The flavours are positioned around the modern sweet heat and warm comfort trends, with the Mike's Hot Honey collaboration being the headline release.
The new flavours roll out to major US grocery chains in the refrigerated dough section. Availability is strongest at large national retailers and expanding to regional grocers through the second half of 2026.
The four new releases
Mike's Hot Honey Biscuits
The headline collaboration. Real Mike's Hot Honey is baked into the dough layers, delivering a balance of sweet and chilli heat against the classic Grands buttery flake. The heat builds gradually rather than hitting upfront, which means even heat skeptics tend to enjoy them. Pairs naturally with fried chicken sandwiches, cheese plates, or a simple butter and honey breakfast.
Maple Biscuits
A warmer, cozier flavour. Rich maple notes are folded through the dough layers, giving the biscuits a breakfast forward character. They work well split and topped with bacon, or simply spread with cold salted butter. Less sweet than a maple bar, more savoury than a pancake.
Raspberry Fruit Rolls
A bright, fruit forward pastry roll with a real raspberry filling and a separate packet of vanilla icing to drizzle after baking. The format is closer to a cinnamon roll than a biscuit, with the dough rolled in a spiral around the fruit centre. The vanilla icing balances the raspberry tartness.
Apple Fruit Rolls
A spiced apple variant in the same spiral roll format. The filling has noticeable cinnamon and warm spice notes layered with apple. The included glaze is sweet and white, similar to the raspberry version. Reads more like a fall dessert than a breakfast pastry.

How to bake them
- Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C).
- Twist or peel open the tube and separate the dough rounds.
- Place at least 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake biscuits 13 to 17 minutes until tops are golden brown.
- Bake fruit rolls per the tube label (typically 13 to 16 minutes).
- Drizzle included icing on the fruit rolls within 2 minutes of removing from the oven for the cleanest finish.
How they fit into the existing Grands line
The Grands Poppin Flavor sub line was created to layer additional flavour into the dough rather than relying on toppings. The original Poppin lineup included Honey Butter and Cinnamon Sugar biscuits. The new four extend that approach to spicy and fruit territory, signalling that Pillsbury is leaning into the same sweet heat and stuffed pastry trends seen across the rest of the snack and confectionery industry through 2025 and 2026.
Pricing and where to buy
Suggested retail price sits between 4.49 and 5.99 USD per tube depending on retailer and region. Look in the refrigerated dough section near the cinnamon rolls and crescent rolls. The biscuit tubes typically contain 5 pieces and the fruit roll tubes contain 5 to 6 pieces depending on the variety.
Storage and freezer notes
- Unopened tubes keep in the fridge until the printed best by date, usually 2 to 3 months out.
- Opened raw dough does not store. Bake the entire tube once opened.
- Baked biscuits and fruit rolls keep at room temperature for 1 day in a sealed container or in the freezer for 1 month.
- Reheat frozen baked pieces wrapped in foil at 325 F for 6 minutes.
Tasting notes from a side by side comparison
- Mike's Hot Honey. Best of the four for savoury pairings. Heat reads as background warmth, not aggressive chilli.
- Maple. Reads less sweet than expected. Best paired with butter rather than additional syrup.
- Raspberry. Most dessert like of the four. The icing pushes total sugar high.
- Apple. Spiced apple character is genuine but mild. A pinch of nutmeg sprinkled before baking sharpens it.
Allergen information
All four contain wheat, soy, and milk. The fruit rolls also contain egg in the icing packet. Cross contact statements vary by manufacturing line. Always read the latest pack label.
Frequently asked questions
Are the new flavours limited edition?
Pillsbury has positioned them as expansion releases rather than limited time only, but availability can rotate by region. Stock up on a favourite if it appears at your store.
Can I freeze the unbaked dough?
No. Refrigerated dough does not survive freezing without losing its rise. Bake first, then freeze the cooked pieces.
Are these halal or kosher?
Confirm with the latest pack labelling. Pillsbury kosher status varies by product and production date.
What pairs best with the Mike's Hot Honey biscuits?
Crispy fried chicken, sharp cheddar, or a salty cured ham. The chilli heat balances rich savoury foods.
