The treats consist of a milk chocolate exterior that's filled with a flavored caramel that's soft and melty to give it a silky texture with ample sweetness to boot. The chocolates are being launched in the US market where shoppers can pick them up in 7.61-ounce stand-up pouches. The treats follow on the signature format of [lava cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-lava-cake), but with a decidedly more convenient format.
