While everyone is buzzing over the King Kylie beverages, another food item flies under the radar. Sitting front and center in the donut case, Dunkin’s Munchkin trend returns. Are you loving this treat?
It has been a huge summer for Dunkin’. From its Eagle collectible cup to the pillowy cold foam beverage layers, everyone is running to the beloved brand.
As people snap and share their favorite visually stunning, vibrant drink, Dunkin’ is more than just a beverage brand. Even though many people have never seen the “time to make the donuts” commercials, others remember that affable baker. Long before people sipped colorful refreshers, Dunkin’ was the only place for coffee and donuts.
Recently, Dunkin’s donuts have been part of menu launches, but they have not received the same buzz as the trendy items. From snack wraps to celebrity brand partnerships, that sweet bite is more of an afterthought.
Have You Discovered the Dunkin’ Munchkin Trend?
While people thirst for those refreshing drinks, the bakery case has a secret sitting in plain view. The beverage hype is one of the reasons why people overlook Dunkin’s Munchkin trend.
Looking at the recently released flavors, there is a commonality. Packed in that tiny bite is texture. The donut holes have a layer of crumbles, sprinkles, or something else.
For example, summer’s new Chocolate Crunch Munchkins continue this food trend. The glazed chocolate cake donut hole is coated in chocolate cookie crunch. Yes, everyone loves the traditional chocolate cake donut, but the cookie crunch takes the flavor up a level.
Yes, this flavor idea easily continues the summer menu story. The Munchkins flavor is similar to the Ice Cream Cake Donut. Also, the chocolate flavor pairs well with all the new beverages. From the pink drinks to Fluffernutter latte, chocolate feels nostalgic and indulgent.
New Dunkin’ Munchkins Deserve to Be Part of the Food Conversation
After people have perched their donut on their Refresher and rush to pull their favorite flavor from the box, the Munchkins are not having their moment to shine. Yes, there were specially branded Wicked boxes previously. But, the tiny donut doles deserve their moment in the spotlight.
With more people shrinking food portion sizes, donut holes are a great choice. It satisfies that sweet craving in just a bite. No one feels guilty after eating a Munchkin.
Additionally, rolling the donut hole in crunchy cookies or sprinkles adds to the eating satisfaction. As chefs know, textural complexity is vital in a well-composed dish. Dunkin’ achieves that with its new flavor.
Will there be more creative and intriguing Dunkin’ Munchkin flavors coming soon? Hopefully, the answer is yes. For people like me who just want a little bite with their protein coffee, it is the perfect flavor that will always be part of my order.
