True story: I had to buy this Dunkin\u2019 Donuts Mint Brownie Donut twice, because I wasn\u2019t sure they gave me the right one the first time. <\/p>\n
But they did.<\/p>\n
Part of what gave me pause is that the frosting looked nothing like the festive green on the promotional materials. The first was more blue than green. But the second just looked white. If it\u2019s not green, what on earth does mint have to do with St. Patrick\u2019s Day?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
On top of the frosting are crunchy chocolate bits. I don\u2019t mind the crunchiness, but it\u2019s not the texture I associate with brownies. My second donut\u2019s pieces were so small it was almost a powder. When I pulled an Ariana Grande and licked the frosting, it was just plain frosting with no flavor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The main part of the donut is a typical yeast dough; you can\u2019t go wrong with it. Inside the donut is a chocolaty filling. Here\u2019s where the discrepancy is between the two donuts I tried. On the first, I couldn\u2019t taste the mint. It reminded me of the oily filling of those Hostess chocolate pies I loved as a kid, but it wasn\u2019t minty. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The second, however, did taste like a mint brownie, though toned down from most that I\u2019ve had. I liked it.<\/p>\n
So, if you go down to your local Dunkin\u2019, I can\u2019t guarantee whether your mint donut will actually taste like a mint donut. If it does, it\u2019s great! It\u2019s an underutilized flavor for donuts. But if it doesn\u2019t taste like it, you\u2019re left with an ordinary chocolate-filled yeast ring. <\/p>\n
