A creative twist on the classic candy, Dunkin' Donuts' new REESE'S Peanut Butter Square is filled with rich and creamy REESE'S peanut butter buttercreme, topped with chocolate icing and finished with an orange icing drizzle to match the colors of the traditional REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups. The Pumpkin Cheesecake Square is filled with smooth and creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling and topped with orange icing, crumbled graham cracker topping and finished with a white icing drizzle.

"At Dunkin', we know that the return of fall means an excitement around classic seasonal flavors and each year, we strive to bring additional fall-flavored menu items to our guests. We want to keep providing guests with new and exciting reasons to return to Dunkin' Donuts, not just for their favorite items but for something unique and different," said Jeff Miller, Dunkin' Brands' Executive Chef and Vice President of Product Innovation.

These sweet treats provide our guests with a unique fall experience they are sure to remember."

Dunkin' Donuts is featuring a full lineup of fall-flavored treats this season.
