Just when you thought every chain had unveiled its full holiday beverage lineup, Dunkin' is keeping the festivities going with its new Brown Butter Toffee Latte.
Just as the name suggests, the new Brown Butter Toffee Latte takes the butter taste of brown butter and pairs it with the sweetness of toffee. The new wintertime drink combines bold espresso with subtle brown butter and toffee flavors for a one-of-a-kind coffee latte.
As if that weren't exciting enough, Dunkin' is also bringing back Dunkin’ Midnight, which has been touted as the brand's darkest brew ever. The rich and intense coffee blend features bittersweet chocolate notes and an intensely dark finish.
Both the Brown Butter Toffee Latte and the returning Dunkin’ Midnight coffee are available now from participating Dunkin' locations nationwide.
