Dunkin’ Donuts Meat Munchkins Now Exist

by Robert Quigley | 12:20 pm, November 9th

Popular donuts purveyors Dunkin’ Donuts are now apparently selling meat Munchkins. Formally known as “Sausage Pancake Bites,” these consist of “pancake ball[s], pre-soaked in maple syrup, and filled with sausage.”

For a limited time: 3 meat Munchkins for $1.59, 6 for $3.00 at participating locations, and every individual sausage-maple orb has 100 calories and 7 grams of fat.

Dunkin’ Donuts on Why They Matter:

Everyone loves a traditional pancake and sausage breakfast, but in our typical busy day it’s almost impossible to find the time it takes to sit down and enjoy it. With our new Pancake Bites, we’ve put the traditional taste of pancakes and sausage into a portable, poppable snack that you can take with you on the go, in the car, at work or any time day or night.
