With Halloween on the way, it's only natural to want to eat something a little bit different to celebrate the holidays.
Yes, for the rest of October, everything is going to get seriously pumpkin flavored and stay that way. But let's be honest: it can get a little bit samey as the weeks roll by. In fact, wouldn't you rather prefer something spicy?
Take a look at this video of a Dunkin Donuts employee hanging out with an autistic employee:If that's the case then I have some good news for you: Dunkin' Donuts is releasing a brand-new and delicious type of extra spicy ghost pepper donut just in time for Halloween 2020.
The coffee and donut chain announced the news about the seriously-hot chili-infused donut on its official Twitter account on October 14, uploading a short video of the pastry, which was captioned:
"A donut… but make it SPICY! Introducing the Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut ft. strawberry-flavored icing with cayenne & ghost pepper for a sweet heat treat at Dunkin’. Grab one & show your spicy side. [sic]"
According to a press release from Dunkin' Donuts, the new donut consists of a classic donut ring, topped with strawberry-flavored icing, blended with cayenne and ghost pepper, and topped with red sanding sugar.
Commenting on the offer, Jill Nelson, Vice President of Marketing Strategy at Dunkin' Donuts stated: "Halloween looks a little different this year, and so do our donuts."
Nelson continued:
"While our classic bakery offering has plenty of crave-worthy treats, we’re excited to show our spicy side with a donut that packs a touch of heat with something sweet and can be enjoyed any time of day."
"With our scary-good lineup of the Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut, Halloween DIY Dunkin’ Donut Decorating Kits and fan-favorite Spider Donut, Dunkin’ is here to help our guests keep their Halloween spirit alive this season."
The Spicy Ghost Pepper Donut will be available from all Dunkin' Donuts chains from this day forward, right up until December, so grab one while you still can, and don't forget to have an ice-cold glass of water handy when you do!
