The Dunkin' Chocolate Santa has been created through a partnership with Frankford Candy to offer consumers a new treat to pick up this holiday season. The product consists of a friendly Santa-shaped chocolate treat that's filled with a cookie butter creme to give it a sweet, sugary flavor in every bite. The individually wrapped treats are great for gifting occasions or portioned indulgence and leverage the Dunkin' brand to help catch the attention of consumers this festive season.
The Dunkin' Chocolate Santa is arriving now at Walmart, Dollar General and Five Below locations, and is priced starting at $1. The treat is inspired by the Dunkin' Cookie Butter Cloud Latte, and speaks to the wider popularity of brown sugar and cooke flavors as speculoos take the spotlight this holiday season.
