One of the new treats is a Black Forest donut with a choco-cherry filling, cherry fudge and white chocolate curls. The Billionaire's Cheesecake donut is another decadent treat in the collection and it shares a rich taste and texture combination thanks to a caramel cheesecake filling and milk chocolate crisp pearls.
