Preakness Week: Dunkin's Black-Eyed Susan Donuts Are Back

BALTIMORE, MD — Dunkin' Donuts is celebrating Preakness this year by bringing back the Black-Eyed Susan Donut, according to a release from the restaurant chain.

The doughnuts recognize Maryland's official state flower, the Black-Eyed Susan, as a yeast-shelled doughnut with yellow icing, topped with chocolate sprinkles and some chocolate buttercream, the release said.

Black-Eyed Susan donuts will be available until May 20.

“The Black-Eyed Susan donut has become a staple in our Baltimore-area restaurants this time of year,” said Colleen Krygiel, Dunkin’ Donuts' Integrated Marketing Manager in the release. “The donut is the perfect way for Dunkin’ Donuts to honor and celebrate the second leg of the Triple Crown in Maryland and we love bringing it back year after year.”
