"What's there to love about Everything Buns? Why, just about everything! The tender bread is baked until perfectly golden-brown to start! The creamy, tangy filling is infused with the distinct fragrance and joy of everything seasoning! The extra everything seasoning spread across the top of each little bun is just the cherry on top of the sundae, so to speak! The fact that they look like savory cinnamon rolls? Well seriously, you might just find more things to love about Everything Buns once you try them!..."
