Convenience stores aren't known for selling the healthiest of snacks, so Day 'N Nite Bites, a snack provider for the convenience store industry, has doubled down on that perception with its new treat, 'The Donut Breakfast Sandwich.' The decadent breakfast treat sandwiches typical breakfast fare between two cakey halves of a donut.
Day 'N Nite Bites' sandwich comes with a plain doughnut that's sliced in half. In the middle is a light and airy omelette, a patty made of breakfast sausage, and a square of American Cheddar cheese. The indulgent breakfast treat comes pre-packaged, and consumers have the option to heat it up in the store or bring it with them to microwave.
The treat is currently being rolled out at convenience stores around the US.
