February is “chocolate lovers month,” according to Dunkin’ Donuts, and it plans to celebrate the culinary festivities with “a new line of yeast raised chocolate donuts” to augment its offerings of chocolate cake style donuts.
In a press release, the Canton-based coffee-and-baked-goods chain said its “renowned culinary team has worked for several years to create a line of cocoa yeast donuts.”
Among the new types that customers can try through the month of February are Cocoa Confetti, a chocolate yeast ring, topped with chocolate icing and rainbow sprinkles; Reverse Boston Kreme, a chocolate yeast shell filled with chocolate Bavarian Kreme and topped with vanilla icing; and Cocoa Kreme Puff, a sugared chocolate yeast shell filled with vanilla butter cream, Dunkin’ Donuts said.
Dunkin’ said it will also use its bagel and muffin platforms as chocolate delivery systems. Such items can be washed down with Mocha Coffee and Mocha Swirl Lattes, the chain added.
