Get an Exclusive First Look at the New Dunkin' Donuts Holiday Flavors

The Candy Cane Crunch Donut got some serious side-eye when our taste testers first saw it. My co-workers seemed skeptical about a peppermint-flavored confection. The yeast doughnut has a vanilla buttercream filling and is topped with vanilla icing and a generous amount of crushed candy cane. Reviews are mixed:

• "I like it, but there is too much of the candy bits on top."
• "This has a strange texture, and I think the candy is soggy instead of crunchy."
• "Peppermint should be left to hard candy and toothpaste."
• "I don't hate it, but I don't really want to eat it either. It should've been a chocolate doughnut with peppermint instead."
• "Yuck! Nauseatingly sweet and plastic-tasting."
