We’re only a few weeks away from Easter, which means it’s time to scout for exciting goodies to fill our baskets with. Sure, chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies and marshmallows are a staple. But there’s a new treat in town that might just outshine them all. Heads up, coffee lovers! Dunkin’ has partnered with Frankford Candy to brew up a different kind of bean. The new Dunkin’ Iced Coffee-Flavored Jelly Beans are here to satisfy not just your sweet tooth but your caffeine cravings as well!
As the name suggests, these special-edition sugar candies are patterned after some of the donut chain’s signature iced coffee drinks. These include Butter Pecan, Caramel Latte, French Vanilla, Hazelnut and Toasted Coconut. All these flavors come in a 13-ounce bag which retails for $3.49 each. The packaging features a guide that indicates the respective flavor of each bean. That way, you will be able to confirm if they actually taste just like the real thing.

Several candy hunters online have already spotted the latest Easter treats on shelves. According to @frontpagefoodfinds, “A very pleasant coffee shop-esque scent wafts out of the bag immediately after opening it.” They also noted that, “The flavors taste great, and are pretty spot on.” Another user, @the.sweet.foodie, noted, “I prefer them by eating one or two of the same flavor at a time. Mixing the flavors and eating multiple at a time gets a no from me.”
