A little chocolate-covered treat is proving to be a well-hidden American treasure.
Dunkin’ confirmed to TODAY.com that Boston Kreme Munchkins Donut Hole Treats are (and have been) available at very select locations nationwide.
A bite-sized version of Dunkin’s Boston Kreme Donut, the Munchkin is filled with Bavarian Kreme and then dipped in chocolate icing — and isn’t officially on the menu.
Back in 2020, Dunkin’ gave its customers a glimpse into the Munchkin varieties it sells around the globe and included the diminutive dessert. Ironically, at the time, the Boston Kreme Munchkins Donut Holes were available across the U.K, E.U. and Montenegro, but not the country that actually contains Boston.
Dunkin’ says, though, that the best way to see if they’re available at a location near you is with the Dunkin’ mobile app, though they didn’t reveal specific locations where customers can get their hands on the mostly off-menu treat. This has caused its customers to do a bit of investigating of their own.
On June 24, influencer Nicki Marie posted a video on both her Instagram and TikTok that clues viewers into the little-known Dunkin’ dinkster.
“I am about to cause an uproar in the Dunkin’ community,” Nicki Marie says in the video. “This is not small talk menu items.”
The Massachusetts resident coyly digs around in her bag while saying that a Dunkin’ in her town makes Boston Kreme Munchkins every day, much to her immense pleasure. Pulling a single chocolate-coated treat from her bag, she shows it off and happily takes a bite.
“I’m shook,” she says, after giving one to her smiling kid.
In the comments section on TikTok, Dunkin’ fans reported other locations where they’ve spotted the Boston Kreme Munchkins — in Royersford, Pennsylvania, as well as many places in Massachusetts, in Fall River, Wrentham, Attleboro, Rehoboth and more.
Other commenters were shocked at the existence of these tiny treats.
“I can’t even find a blueberry munchkin let alone a BC one…. Wth,” commented one person.
“No way. It’s not possible,” wrote another.
Another TikToker who tagged a Dunkin’ shop in Hopatchung, New Jersey shared a view of its interior well-stocked with Boston Kreme Munchkins. The video uses Cardi B’s viral “what is that?” audio to convey their shock at the rare item’s presence.
“I heard rumors of a dunkin donuts that has boston cream munchkins! I must know!!!” a Reddit user wrote in r/RhodeIsland, and another more recent thread in the same subreddit asked, “I saw online that Dunkin has been making Boston Creme munchkins and are available in Rhode Island??? Anyone know where I can find these?”
Luckily, residents of the country’s smallest state share a border with Massachusetts, where there seem to be a solid handful of locations bursting with Boston Kreme Munchkins, just a short drive away.
