As the brand's press release reads: "This summer, Dunkin' is making it easy to enjoy a particularly sweet escape any time of day, partnering with Hershey 's products for a new lineup of delicious delights." The new Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme Donut is a delicious new take on a classic candy bar. The square-shaped donut is not only filled with vanilla-flavored buttercream, but it is also topped with Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme candy bar crumbles. For the ultimate cookies and cream experience, customers can also try the new Hershey's Cookies 'N' Creme coffee, which combines the taste of white chocolate with cookie flavor notes.
