The Dunkin' Almond Croissant is headed to participating locations this fall as a nutty, autumnal menu item perfect for consumers to try out as a new take on a classic baked good. The croissant features an all-butter recipe that's filled with a sweet almond paste before being topped with slivered almonds on top for a perfectly crispy, creamy and crunchy texture experience. The croissant is arriving alongside the returning Cookie Butter Donut to provide patrons with a series of perfect options to pair with their favorite hot or cold drink.
The Dunkin' Almond Croissant will be available starting November 1, 2024 which also marks the brand's return of its Give Joy to Kids fundraiser to benefit the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation.
