King’s Hawaiian Goes Bananas with New “Shake ‘Em” Bites Inspired by Illumination’s Minions
Diners can channel their inner Minion with King’s Hawaiian banana bites. These sweet snacks are hitting grocery store shelves nationwide.
Minions ahve become a big part of the Universal Orlando theme park culture. Based on that and the movies, many people know Minions and bananas are tough to keep apart. From their chaotic antics on screen to their legendary obsession with fruit, these yellow troublemakers are always looking for their next banana fix.
Now, just in time for their upcoming big-screen adventure, Illumination’s Minions & Monsters, hitting theaters on July 1, 2026, you can eat like a Minion right at home. King’s Hawaiian has officially teamed up with Illumination to launch a brand-new snack nationwide. If you are looking for a fun new treat, these King’s Hawaiian banana bites are packed with sweet flavor.
King’s Hawaiian Banana Bites: A Three-Step Movie Magic Experience
These could work for a family road trip or an upcoming movie night. This limited-time snack features King’s Hawaiian’s famous signature soft, pillowy bread bites paired with an interactive twist. To enjoy these King’s Hawaiian banana bites, you follow a simple three-step “shake to coat” process: sprinkle the included banana-flavored sugar into the tub, shake it up to coat the bites, and enjoy.
Foodies can even take things a step further by heating them up in an air fryer for a warm, toasty, dessert-style treat right in their own kitchen.
“At King’s Hawaiian, we’re always looking for ways to bring a little more joy and flavor to everyday moments,” said Raouf Moussa, chief marketing officer at King’s Hawaiian. “With ‘Shake ‘Em’ Banana Bites, we’re combining our signature soft, sweet bread with the Minions’ most iconic flavor to create something that’s both delicious and unexpected. From a delightful new animated TV spot to eye-catching in-store displays at grocery retailers nationwide , we’re excited to bring this partnership to life in a way that fans can experience a little movie magic through our brand this summer.”

The promotional campaign for the new movie and snack is going big. Beyond a new 1920s-inspired animated television commercial featuring dancing Minions dressed as bread bites, the partnership will also debut a co-branded NASCAR race car at Pocono Raceway this June.
