Hershey's Donut Bites Puts a Chocolaty Twist on Breakfast Pastries
Katherine Pendrill — February 14, 2018 — Lifestyle
For those who want to ensure chocolate treats are always on hand, the new Hershey's Donut Bites are the perfect solution. Made of mouthwatering Hershey's chocolate and stored frozen, the bite-sized donuts can be enjoyed anytime.
Hershey's Donut Bites are a brand-new treat that was recently spotted in the freezer aisle at the northeaster grocery chain Giant Food. The chocolaty treat is a new version of General Mills' Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bites, which debuted last year. Like the cereal-flavored version, the mini donuts are also sold frozen and need to be microwaved before eating. In terms of taste, instead of sweet cinnamon sugar, the new Donut Bites are stuffed with a creamy chocolate filling.
Unfortunately for consumers, Hershey's Donut Bites have yet to be rolled out nation-wide, making them an exclusive snack for the lucky shoppers who spot them.
