Yes, Mars has partnered with Dunkin' Donuts to create the M&M's Donut (candy on top of a frosted donut) and the Milky Way Hot Chocolate. And, true to its name, the rich drink tastes a lot like someone melted a couple of Milky Ways in a cup -- with plenty of vanilla nougat, caramel and milk chocolate notes swimming around in there.Way, way, way too sweet for me, but my friend (who ordered the drink) loved it. So if you like the candy bar and hot chocolate, this may be the drink of your dreams. My thought though, is that it's actually a nightmare: If you order one of these crazy drinks (size medium) you will be consuming 280 calories, 9 grams of fat , 52 grams of carbs total and 41 grams of sugar!
I don't even want to comment on the candy coated frosted donut as I really can't comprehend why anyone would eat this ever.
That said, and clearly knowing that there is in fact, a market for this type of food. You might want to read 'The appalling truth about doughnuts' posted by Fitz before indulging in something that has Homer Simpson written all over it.
