Have you tried the new Dunkin’ Donuts Fudge Croissant Donuts yet? We tried them and loved them. See pictures of this tasty treat here.

With school and activities, life moves pretty fast around here. In the new year, I am trying to make it a point to get a chance to slow down and connect with my girls more often. Dunkin’ Donuts asked us to try out their new Fudge Croissant Donuts and we were happy to do so and have some bonding time.

This outrageously delicious donut is sure to be a favorite with chocolate lovers, combining the brand’s famous glazed croissant donut with a decadent fudge filling, topped with chocolate and white icing drizzle. The Fudge Croissant Donut was introduced December 28, and is available for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide. We loved eating these and chatting about our week. I love hearing the details about school and activities while we fulfilled our chocolate cravings.

The first Croissant Donut at Dunkin’ Donuts was introduced in 2014 as a limited-time only menu item, and became one of the most popular limited-time bakery items in recent brand history. Due to popular demand, in 2015 Dunkin’ Donuts decided to make the Croissant Donut a permanent menu item at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide.

I love that Dunkin’ Donuts offers  breakfast all day and is a great destination for on-the-go people who want a quick bite or a meal any time of day. Breakfast is not just for breakfast any more. There are lots of great menu options that provide delicious choices people can enjoy anywhere, at any time of day.

If you download and pay with their app, you can get perks and points! It is also very convenient to pay with it because all they have to do is scan. You don’t have to have another gift card in your wallet because you can just pull it up on your phone. When I signed up for their rewards program, a coupon for a free drink was in my app. Not sure how often the offer changes but I used mine to get a yummy cappuccino! If you are looking for a fun treat, try out the new Dunkin’ Donuts  Fudge Croissant Donut today.

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake Recipe with Flower Starwberry

 

 

I love strawberry shortcake and decided to make an easy  strawberry shortcake cupcake recipe in honor of Strawberry Shortcake day on Saturday, June 14th. To make the cupcake even more special I arranged the strawberries in the shape of a flower and added a blueberry for the center. These cupcakes are ridiculously easy to make but they look special. No one needs to know how easy they were. That is Everyday Savvy living at its best!

I used a boxed angel food cake mix and then just topped with Reddi wip. I then arranged the strawberries in the flower shape. I will say that the whipped cream starts to melt a bit so you will want to serve these immediately. If you want to make them ahead, I would use a whipped frosting that will hold for longer.
