Fudge-Filled Hybrid Donuts

This Decadent Croissant Donut is Filled with Chocolate Fudge

Dunkin' Donuts recently debuted a hybrid donut that is filled with chocolate fudge. With the holiday season officially over, Dunkin' Donuts has crafted a delicious new treat to replace its Christmas-themed offerings.

The Fudge Croissant Donut is a hybrid snack that serves as a cross between a flaky French pastry and a glazed donut. The decadent treat is filled with chocolate fudge and then covered in a chocolate and white icing drizzle. For those who like to start their day with something extra sweet, the flaky donut offers a more decadent take on the classic chocolate croissant.

Chocoholics will be happy to know that the delicious breakfast treat is now available at participating Dunkin' Donuts locations for a limited time.
