Dunkin’ Donuts Introduces New S’mores Donut, made with HERSHEY’S® chocolate, & Chocolate Drizzled Strawberry Croissant Donut

Brand’s Beverage Menu Boosted with Dunkin’ Energy Punch Powered by Monster Energy®

ST. LOUIS, MO (July 5, 2017) – The spirit of summer in St. Louis is all about having fun and keeping energized to make the most of each day, and Dunkin’ Donuts’ newest menu items can help with both. Dunkin’ Donuts is now serving some sweet tastes of summer with two new seasonal donuts, the S’mores Donut and the Chocolate Drizzled Strawberry Croissant Donut. Dunkin’ is also kicking up coast-to-coast refreshment by bringing Dunkin’ Energy Punch Powered by Monster Energy® nationwide as a new boost to the brand’s beverage lineup.

A donut delivering the taste of a classic campfire treat, Dunkin’ Donuts’ new S’mores Donut offers the perfect sweet and creamy combination of toasted marshmallow flavored filling and decadent s’mores topping made with HERSHEY’S® chocolate for an authentic s’mores experience any time of day. The S’mores Donut pairs perfectly with Dunkin’ Donuts’ Coconut Crème Pie Iced Coffee, as the coconut and marshmallow flavors create a sweet and creamy combination.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ new Chocolate Drizzled Strawberry Croissant Donut features flaky, buttery layers of Croissant Donut, strawberry filling and a chocolate icing drizzle for the flavor of a chocolate covered strawberry in donut form.

Both new donuts are available through summer at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide.
