4/20 – the unofficial stoner holiday – is coming up and Voodoo Doughnut wants to help consumers celebrate with a new 'Blunt Box.' As Taylor Fish, Director of Marketing for Voodoo Doughnut, explains, "If you’re going to show up for 4/20, you may as well to it properly."
Perfectly designed to satisfy even the biggest case of the munchies, the new Blunt Box features six blunt-shaped doughnuts in sweet and savory flavors. For instance, there's a Breadstick Blunt doughnut that's rolled in a savory blend of garlic, parmesan, and Italian seasonings, and served with a pizza sauce dip. There's also the Puff, Puff, Pass doughnut, which is filled with chocolate cream, dipped in a rich chocolate frosting, topped with chocolate cereal puffs, and finished with a caramel drizzle. Other doughnuts in the collection include the Maple Blazer Blunt, the Watermelon Sour High, the Jalapeño Popper Hotbox, and the Wake & Bake Blunt.
