I’m always down for a new snack. Our food cupboards have plenty of salty snacks — Ritz Bits, Goldfish, Cheez-It crackers — but every so often, I need to make sure there’s a sweet snack in that mix.
As someone who grew up during the 1990s wave of Dunkin’ Donuts expansion and who married someone from Massachusetts, I’ve long had a preference for Dunkin’ over other coffee (and donut) chains.
With both of those things in mind, I was super excited when Dunkin’ and Brownie Brittle announced that they had come together to release Dunkin’ Sprinkled Donut Blondie Brittle and Dunkin’ Mocha Latte Brownie Brittle.
“Partnering with Dunkin’ — a brand that defines flavor, fun, and everyday fuel — has been an incredibly exciting collaboration for Brownie Brittle,” Tom Bufalino, vice president of marketing at Second Nature Brands, said in the announcement of these new flavors. “These new varieties combine our famously thin, crispy crunch with Dunkin’s unmistakable donut and coffee flavors to create snacks that deliver pure, sweet delight. We know fans of both brands are going to love this sweet mashup.”
To recap, I love sweet snacks. And I love Dunkin’. Let’s tear into these bags of Brownie Brittle ...

My thoughts
If you’re not familiar with Brownie Brittle, each bag is full of crunchy brownie (and blondie) squares. The company has often partnered with other established brands, including M&M’s. A crossover with Dunkin’ is right in Brownie Brittle’s wheelhouse.
Dunkin’ Sprinkled Donut Blondie Brittle
I’m a sucker for anything with rainbow sprinkles, so I opened my bag of Dunkin’ Sprinkled Donut Blondie Brittle eager to bite into these fellas. The two companies describe this flavor as “reimagined with inspiration from Dunkin’s iconic Sprinkled Donut, delivering classic donut flavor in every crisp, crunchy bite.”
It’s hard to pass up one of Dunkin’s sprinkled donuts — I love the one with pink strawberry frosting — and the sight of those rainbow sprinkles once I opened the bag were a welcome sight.
Dunkin’ Sprinkled Donut Blondie Brittle is a big hit. Going with the Blondie variety of Brownie Brittle was a smart choice, with its cookie-like base allowing the white chips and rainbow sprinkles to deliver just the right hit of sweetness.

I went into this taste test more interested in Dunkin’ Sprinkled Donut Blondie Brittle than Dunkin’ Mocha Latte Brownie Brittle. It’s just who I am. If there’s a sprinkled donut option on the table, I’m gonna eat it.
But, oh boy, the Mocha Latte flavor is fantastic.
Dunkin’ boasts that this flavor is “infused with espresso-flavored morsels, this rich, chocolatey snack is crafted for coffee lovers and sweet-snack enthusiasts alike.”
You can’t go wrong pairing coffee and chocolate, and this flavor of Brownie Brittle is a delicious combo. Those espresso-flavored bits add a bright pop against the crispy texture of the brittle itself.
Dunkin’ Mocha Latte Brownie Brittle was also our daughter’s favorite of these two flavors, calling them “amazing.” Yes, our four-year-old has a taste for coffee.
