Asher's Chocolate Co. and Federal Donuts & Chicken have unveiled their second collaborative limited-edition donut, the Moon Rock Donut. This offering is a continuation of the branded four-part partnership, which celebrates Philadelphia's culinary innovation.
The Moon Rock Donut features a chocolate cake donut with marshmallow glaze, topped with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, caramel drizzle, and Asher's signature Moon Rock candy. The composition boasts a playful nod to celestial themes timed to coincide with the summer solstice.
The Moon Rock Donut follows the success of the collaborative first release — the Cherry Cordial donut — which sold out daily during its run. The second iteration will be available for a week between June 20th and June 27th at all Philadelphia-area Federal Donuts & Chicken locations.
