I have to admit, there is something fun about Munchkins. They are basically the little bite-sized version of a donut, and they have been a Dunkin' favorite for decades.

Personally, I like the "jelly" munchkins; they were always my favorite, followed by the chocolate munchkins.

 

 

Munchkins first appeared in 1972 as a way for Dunkin' to use the centers that were cut out when making its regular donuts. Instead of throwing those pieces away, Dunkin' turned them into small treats that customers could enjoy.

 

The name "Munchkins" stuck, and they became a popular part of the Dunkin' menu.

 

Today, you can get Munchkins in several different flavors, including glazed, powdered, chocolate glazed, and jelly-filled. They're also pretty convenient when you want something sweet but don't necessarily want to eat a whole donut. And let's be honest, it's pretty easy to eat more than one!
