Candy Bar Donut Creations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Tim Horton's New Twix Donut is a Chocoholic's Dream Come True

— July 28, 2016 — Lifestyle
Tim Horton's recently expanded its menu with the addition of two decadent new creations: the Twix Donut and the Oreo Cookie Donut. Capitalizing on the continued popularity of hybrid food products, the culinary mash-up brings together two ultra-sweet treats.

The Twix Donut is an oblong donut featuring a caramel filling, a caramel glazed topping and pieces of crumbled Twix bars. The Oreo cookie donut features the same oblong shape with an Oreo creme filling, Oreo creme topping and chocolate Oreo cookie crumbs. The hybrid donuts are similar to the Nutella-filled treats the chain introduced last year.

The decadent new donut creations demonstrate the ongoing demand for co-branded food products that put a creative twist on familiar dishes.
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Food Products - The continued popularity of dishes that combine two or more well-known menu items presents an opportunity for the development of unique culinary experiences
2. Co-branded Food Products - There is a continued demand for food products that bring together two beloved brands, creating a new and innovative taste sensation
3. Decadent Donut Creations - The rise of ultra-sweet and indulgent donut creations presents an opportunity for businesses to offer unique and indulgent treats to their customers
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - Fast food establishments can capitalize on the trend of hybrid and co-branded food products by introducing new menu items that combine well-known brands
2. Bakery - Bakeries can tap into the demand for ultra-sweet and decadent donut creations by introducing new varieties that feature familiar snacks and sweets
3. Confectionery - Confectionery businesses can take advantage of the popularity of hybrid and co-branded food products to develop new products that offer unique flavor experiences
