Caramelized Brown Sugar Sandwiches

Dunkin' Donuts' New Sandwich Features Caramelized Bacon

It is undeniable that sweet and salty is a winning flavor combination, which is why Dunkin’ Donuts has debuted a new breakfast sandwich featuring caramelized bacon. Designed to signal the impending arrival of spring, the new sandwich is the perfect way to solve the common breakfast dilemma of sweet versus savory.

As part of its spring menu, Dunkin’ Donuts is serving up two new breakfast sandwiches -- one of which is made with caramelized bacon. The first is the Brown Sugar Chipotle Bacon Breakfast Sandwich, which features a double portion of caramelized brown sugar chipotle bacon, plus an egg and a slice of cheese on a flaky croissant. For those without a sweet tooth, the Double Sausage Breakfast Sandwich boasts two sausage patties, an egg and a slice of cheese on an oven-toasted bagel.
