Ghost Pepper Donut – Dunkin’ Has A Spicy Side
The spicy ghost pepper donut looks innocent and pretty – pink icing with sparkling pink sprinkles. But it packs some heat with a blend of cayenne and ghost pepper spices, balanced with sweet strawberry frosting on a classic plain donut ring.
The brand is encouraging fans to show their spicy side on social media by surprising their friends with the spicy donut and sharing it on social media, using the hashtag #DunkinSpicySide.
Kids Give Ghost Pepper Donut A Try
Some parents are tricking their kids into trying the spicy donut. Unsuspecting children think it’s a strawberry or cherry flavor, until the spice kicks in a few seconds after eating it. And some adventurous kids are aware they are trying a spicy treat, and they have great reactions too!
