Chocolate Bar Donuts

The Reese's Peanut Butter Square is Available at Dunkin' Donuts

Dunkin' Donuts has released an all-new chocolate bar-inspired donut entitled the Reese's Peanut Butter square that features filling and icing inspired by the popular peanut butter cup.

The donut features a fluffy pastry yeast dough shaped in a square rather than a conventional circle. The donut is then filled with a buttercream inspired by the Reese's peanut butter that has a noticeable whipped texture complete with both savory and sweet notes. The top of the donut is covered in a layer of chocolate icing topped with orange detailing inspired by the Reese's brand colors. This donut creatively combines both qualities of the popular peanut butter chocolate candy bar along with the traditional aspects that donut lovers enjoy so much. The end result is a dessert that both sweet and savory food-lovers will enjoy.
