Each Pancake Bite contains a small ball of sausage wrapped in a maple-flavored &#8220;pancake&#8221; coating. This &#8220;breakfast snack&#8221; is being promoted as a &#8220;poppable&#8221; and convenient way to enjoy a pancake and sausage breakfast without the effort of cooking it, or even sitting down as a table. &#8220;You can take with you on the go, in the car, at work or any time day or night,&#8221; said Dunkin\u2019 Brands\u2019 Executive Chef Stan Frankenthaler in the <a title=\"Dunkin\u2019 Donuts\u2019 newest menu innovation (Pancake Bites)\" href=\"http:\/\/news.dunkindonuts.com\/dunkin+donuts\/dunkin+donuts+news\/dunkin+donuts+pancake+bites.htm\" target=\"_blank\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the idea of a &#8220;breakfast snack&#8221; already spells out diet disaster. The name implies that you&#8217;ll be snacking on Pancake Bites after you&#8217;ve already eaten your morning meal.

Meat Munchkins!\" href=\"http:\/\/gothamist.com\/2010\/11\/05\/dunkin_donuts_introduces_meat_munch.php\" target=\"_blank\">Gothanmist<\/a>, who has dubbed the new creation the &#8220;Meat Muchkin,&#8221; Pancake Bites are about 100 calories apiece, and also contain 7 grams of fat. An order comes with three pieces for $1.59 or your diet downfall comes with a discount if you order six pieces for $3.00.
