Dunkin' Donuts has once again taken hold of the title 'Supreme Snack Spot' by releasing its Raspberry Chocolate Brownie Doughnut.
This treat is a yeast doughnut filled with raspberry jelly, dipped in chocolate, topped with a brownie and drizzled with vanilla frosting. Currently only released in the UK, the Raspberry Chocolate Brownie Doughnut offers consumers the best of both dessert worlds. For Valentines Day, Dunkin' Donuts US released a doughnut with brownie mixed into the doughnut itself, but the brownie-topped version has taken over social media. American fans of the famous coffee shop will have to wait to see if this dessert mash-up makes it to North America. If not, they are still able to satisfy their sugar cravings with the franchise's S'mores Frozen Dunkin' Iced Coffee.
