Why did it take so long, we wondered, as we read the press release about Dunkin’ Donuts’ new Easter donut topped with a real Peeps marshmallow chick.

The yeast donut, shaped like a flower, is available in two flavors: strawberry flavored icing with pastel green icing drizzle, or pastel green icing with strawberry flavored icing drizzle.

The Peeps that top the donuts are slightly smaller than the normal Peeps chicks.

Gather ye donuts while ye may: They’re available at participating Dunkin’ Donuts locations nationwide for a limited time only.
