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.
