Dunkin\u2019 ain\u2019t messing around this Halloween. It *knows* that this time of year, you have to go big or go home. We\u2019re at a point where excessive isn\u2019t excessive enough anymore. Pretty much anybody can walk into an executive board room meeting at any major restaurant chain in America, describe the most outlandish and preposterous menu item imaginable and there\u2019s at least a 50\/50 chance they\u2019ll actually mass release it.<\/p>\n
In fact, I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s how the Candy Bar Signature Latte came into existence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The gimmick of the latte is pretty obvious. When it says \u201ccandy bar,\u201d it MEANS it. You\u2019ve got the requisite whipped topping, and atop that, you\u2019ve got a pur\u00e9e of all kinds of name-brand candies I don\u2019t think Dunkin\u2019 is legally allowed to mention in its advertising materials. But as soon as you taste it, you know what you\u2019re chomping into. It\u2019s pretty much an edible Where\u2019s Waldo<\/em> painting of various ice cream toppings \u2014 M&Ms (or \u201cmulti-color chocolate candies,\u201d if you\u2019re trying to avert a lawsuit), bits of pretzel, some little toffee chunks and pulped chips of what I\u2019m pretty sure are supposed to be bite-size Heath bars. Basically, if you turned a trick-or-treat bag upside down and dumped it into a cup of hot cocoa, it would look a lot<\/em> like this latte from Dunkin.\u2019<\/p>\n Now, there are two varieties of Candy Bar Signature Latte. The iced version is obviously the more Instagrammable version. But I went with the standard hot latte iteration \u2026 which was a mistake on my part.<\/p>\n It\u2019s thermodynamics 101. If you put something really cold on top of something really hot, it\u2019s only a matter of time until one of \u2018em gives. By the time I pulled out of the Dunkin\u2019 drive-thru lane and made it back to my place, that beautiful, Willy Wonka-like tapestry had melted into a puddle resembling the atmosphere of Jupiter, complete with melted<\/em> chocolate husks and soggy, shriveled pretzel pieces bobbing up and down like condemned souls in the river Styx. I used the Where\u2019s Waldo<\/em> reference earlier \u2014 give it about three minutes and you\u2019ll have your own Hieronymus Bosch painting in the same cup.<\/p>\n So yeah, word to the wise \u2014 definitely go with the iced latte version here.<\/p>\n Ultimately, it\u2019s not a bad beverage, just sort of a surprisingly muted one. With all of the ingredients in the cup, you\u2019d think it would have a really distinct taste, but the hot chocolate flavor kinda dominates everything else. So it\u2019s more like a slightly souped-up hot chocolate with pieces of toffee you get to occasionally chew on. That might be some people\u2019s idea of a good time, but yeah, it\u2019s not for me.<\/p>\n This is another example of fast food aesthetics over fast food quality. It looks cool and the novelty is appealing, but as something you actually consume, it\u2019s surprisingly mundane. How a beverage with THIS much stuff in it tastes so much like an ordinary, run of the mill mocha latte is almost inspiring; but I guess no matter how much whipped cream and M&M\u2019s you put on top of something, a Dunkin\u2019 latte is still<\/em> just a Dunkin\u2019 latte.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $5.99 Dunkin\u2019 ain\u2019t messing around this Halloween.
