For their June 2015 Flavor of the Month, Baskin-Robbins is teaming up with its sister brand, Dunkin’ Donuts, to offer Coffee ‘N Donut Ice Cream.

The ice cream features Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and donut flavored ice creams, donut pieces, and a chocolate flavored icing ribbon. The ice cream is made using Dunkin’ Donuts Original Blend Coffee and Plain Cake Munchkins Donut Hole treats.

This isn’t the first time the sister chains have teamed up. Over the past few years, Dunkin’ Donuts have been offering Baskin-Robbins inspired coffee drinks, like their Old Fashioned Butter Pecan Iced Coffee and Jamoca Almond Fudge Iced Coffee.

Chips Ahoy! is the Jan Brady of Nabisco cookies and, of course, Oreo is the Marcia Brady. While Oreo has been used in numerous shakes, snacks, and desserts, the crunchy chocolate chip cookie hasn’t seen as much love.

But Dunkin’ Donuts is showing a little love with a line of Chips Ahoy! products that includes two new donuts — Chips Ahoy! Crème Donut and Chips Ahoy! Crunch Donut.

The Chips Ahoy! Crème Donut is a yeast shell filled with cookie dough-flavored buttercreme and topped with chocolate icing and crumbled Chips Ahoy! cookies. The Chips Ahoy! Crunch Donut is a yeast ring frosted with chocolate icing and topped with crumbled Chips Ahoy! cookies.

The Chips Ahoy! Creme Donut has 380 calories, 19 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 420 milligrams of sodium, 49 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 26 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein. The Chips Ahoy! Crunch Donut has 310 calories, 17 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 360 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 15 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.

Jack in the Box has added a new steak to their breakfast menu with the introduction of their Steak & Egg Breakfast Burrito. It’s stuffed with Jack’s new flame-grilled steak, scrambled eggs, pepper jack and cheddar cheeses, and a creamy sriracha sauce. All that is wrapped in a warm tortilla and it comes with a side of fire roasted salsa.

But what is that at the bottom? Is that a hash brown? I’ve read nothing about a hash brown. You folks see it, right?

Update: I emailed a Jack in the Box representative about the 115 grams of fat and was told the fat content on the website was an error. The burrito has 50 grams of fat. I was also told the burrito has 850 calories.

According to the Jack in the Box website, the Steak & Egg Breakfast Burrito has 796 calories 850 calories, 115 grams of fat (I hope it’s an error) 50 grams of fat, 24 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 391 milligrams of cholesterol, 1971 milligrams of sodium, 559 milligrams of potassium, 58 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 34 grams of protein.
