Following the release of their Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich, Dunkin' Donuts is exclusively offering a Deluxe Bacon Donut this month. The glazed donut is topped with strips of bacon and is being tested in participating locations in Providence, Massachusetts.
The savory donut exemplifies the American need to have bacon with and on everything. The limited time menu addition combines salty and sweet in two epic bakery treats: the aforementioned Deluxe bismark as well as the Deluxe Maple Bacon Donut. The second option is also a glazed bismark donut, but is topped with maple icing as well as the two bacon strips. If the innovative item proves popular enough, there is a chance it could be rolled out to stores nationwide.
