FAST FOOD NEWS: 7-Eleven Caramel Bar Made with TWIX Donut

7 Eleven Caramel Bar Made with TWIX Donut

7-Eleven has a new donut in the pastry case — the Caramel Bar Made with TWIX Donut.

The donut is a yeast-raised rectangle bar topped with caramel icing, drizzled with chocolate, and sprinkled with chopped TWIX pieces. It’s 7-Eleven’s first fresh donut topped with chocolate bar pieces.

Will we be seeing more of these candy topped donuts in the future? If so, my boring predictable prediction is an M&M’s topped donut.

The suggested retail price for the limited time only donut is $1.69 at participating stores.
