Summer is in full swing, and with it arrives new seasonal food offerings, like Dunkin' Donuts' Chocolate Coconutty and Shark Bite Donut, which are available for a limited time.
The Chocolate Coconutty Donut features a chocolate-covered shell that's topped with crumbled pieces of shortbread cookie. The inside is filled with coconut creme and flakes of coconut, which adds to the treat's unique flavor profile. The Shark Bite Donut features indulgent icing and is topped with shark-shaped sprinkles, making for a special summer-ready treat that one can really dig their teeth into.
Both of the treats are available at select locations throughout the summer months, with the offering ending on July 31st, 2018.
