Dunkin’ Ditches the Donuts With Its New Take on Trail Mix

February 17, 2025

Dunkin’ has put out a new offering for its customers, but this time, it doesn’t have to do with donuts.

Allrecipes is reporting that the company and Kar’s Nuts have collaborated to create what could be the most stimulating snack combination yet: Caramel Cold Brew Trail Mix.

If Kar’s sounds familiar, it’s likely because the brand has already achieved another renowned snack collaboration with M&M’s trail mix. Kar’s is known for pushing standard trail mix to the next level, creating creative and flavor-packed snack combinations, and the new Dunkin’ edition is no exception.

According to the package, it combines “the indulgent flavor of caramel with an invigorating kick of cold brew coffee” into a sweet, salty, crunchy snack mix.

You’ll find roasted salted peanuts, crispy butter toffee peanuts, colorful chocolate candies, and Dunkin’-inspired caramel cold brew almonds inside the package. The color palette, which includes pink, orange, white, and brown, is consistent with Dunkin’s distinctive style.

A 20-ounce bag of trail mix is currently available for $9.49 exclusively at Kroger. Throughout March, however, it will be available on Amazon and Kars.com.

Dunkin’ Is No Stranger to New Menu Additions

The coffee chain is no stranger to new additions. Last month, in celebration of Valentine’s Day, Dunkin’ announced a limited-edition menu filled with sweet treats.

The menu was officially available nationally on Wednesday, Jan. 29, and it included the Cupid’s Choice Specialty Donut, filled with Bavarian Kreme and topped with strawberry-flavored icing and festive sprinkles, and the Brownie Batter Specialty Donut, filled with chocolatey, brownie batter-flavored butter creme and topped with chocolate icing.

All of the filled donuts on the menu were heart-shaped, while sprinkle donuts and Munchkins donut hole snacks were adorned in pink, white, and red heart sprinkles.

Dunkin’ also partnered with New York-based artist and muralist Corey Paige Designs to create a limited-edition Valentine’s Day capsule collection. This collection, inspired by two of Dunkin’s most popular seasonal donuts — Cupid’s Choice and Brownie Batter — combined with Corey Paige’s bold and vibrant style, featured five collectible pieces: two crewnecks ($45), a hat ($25), crew socks ($16), and a heart-shaped tote ($25), which were available while supplies lasted. All items contained a sticker pack featuring festive donut designs from the collection.
