The Dunkin' Donuts Oreo Donut has been announced by the QSR brand as a new Halloween-themed dessert that is part of its new fall menu to offer consumers a different way to enjoy the flavors of the season.
The donut consists of a yeast shell donut that has been filled with ample amounts of vanilla buttercream before being topped with chocolate frosting, crumbled Oreo cookies and a final drizzling of orange icing. This creates a melange of Halloween-themed colors that makes it an indulgent yet seasonally appropriate treat for consumers to pick up.
