CHICAGO — Panera Bread is gearing up to celebrate National Mac & Cheese Day next week with the release of a particularly cheesy beauty product.

On Wednesday, Panera announced that it was teaming up with beauty brand Holler and Glow to launch two limited-run lip balms inspired by the fast-casual restaurant chain’s mac and cheese and bread bowls.

The first lip balm, called “S’Mac My Day.” is a Mac & Cheese-scented balm that Panera says is “as rich and satisfying as your favorite spoonful.”

The second balm, called “Get That Bread,” is bread-scented and the chain says it invokes “the scent of baked bread with every swipe.”

“Inspired by Panera’s fan-favorite Mac & Cheese and iconic Bread Bowl, this crave-worthy collab brings cozy, carb-inspired comfort to your beauty routine,” a spokesperson for the restaurant chain said.

But putting on the balm won’t just smell like the cheesy favorites; the unique balms also come with a miniature spoon for application, just like a bread bowl filled with Panera mac and cheese.

The wacky balms are sold as a pair and are available on Amazon and The Panera Shop for $8.
