Cicis® Pizza Gets a Little Nuttier with Limited-Time Fudge Brownie Made with NUTTER BUTTER Minis

TL;DR

Cicis Pizza launches a limited-time Fudge Brownie with NUTTER BUTTER Minis, created in collaboration with NUTTER BUTTER. The new dessert is included with the Cicis all-you-can-eat buffet for $9.99.

Created in collaboration with NUTTER BUTTER, the new dessert starts with the rich, fudgy brownie Cicis fans already know and love, then takes it up a notch with NUTTER BUTTER Minis baked into the batter and a creamy peanut butter icing on top. The result is a nostalgic chocolate-and-peanut-butter mashup that brings a sweet-and-salty twist to one of the most popular desserts on the buffet.

“Cicis fans do not play around when it comes to our brownies, so we knew we had to make this one count,” said Jeff Hetsel, President of Cicis Pizza. “We took a dessert people already love, added NUTTER BUTTER Minis and made it even more indulgent. It is rich, peanut buttery and just a little nuttier, which is exactly what dessert on the Cicis buffet should be.”

The Fudge Brownie made with NUTTER BUTTER Minis is included with the Cicis all-you-can-eat buffet, all for $9.99, alongside a wide variety of pizzas, pasta, and salad.

“Nutter Butter has always been about going all in on peanut butter, and teaming up with Cicis gave us the perfect excuse to take that obsession to the buffet,” said Caroline Suppiger, NUTTER BUTTER Brand Manager. “Cicis brownies already have a loyal following, so adding NUTTER BUTTER Minis and peanut butter icing felt like a deliciously over-the-top way to make a fan favorite even nuttier.”

Guests can also join Cicis Rewards™ to receive a $3.99 Adult Buffet and start earning points toward future offers, valid Monday through Friday.
