Popeyes started a fast food revolution in 2019, beginning the chicken sandwich wars when they launched their viral menu item.

Now, the fast food chain is hoping to shake things up once again with their latest menu addition. Popeyes announced this week that starting Monday, chocolate beignets have been added to the menu nationwide, reports CNN.

The "New Orleans-style" fried pastries are stuffed with melted Hershey's chocolate and doused in powdered sugar.

The item, which received strong reviews when tested in Boston and Baltimore back in October, will only be available while supplies last. Popeyes’ beignets come in sizes of three, six, or 12 for $1.99, $3.99 and $7.49, respectively.
