[Dunkin'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-box-o-chocolates) and Frank's RedHot teamed up to create an unusual jelly donut that will only be available as part of an extra exclusive release. The Frank's RedHot Jelly Donut first made its debut during a [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flame-flight-kits) livestream from Frank's during the Super Bowl and it is now being introduced to two Dunkin' locations in the Miami area, where this year's Super Bowl was hosted.

The Frank's RedHot Jelly Donut takes the form of an apple and raspberry jelly-filled yeast donut that's topped with white icing and Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. Although the hot sauce-topped donut may seem like an unexpected creation, it certainly lives up to Frank's slogan that the condiment can go on everything.
