Snack shelves in the US are getting a sweet and salty makeover, thanks to a new collaboration between Kar’s Nuts and Dunkin’. The two American brands have released a pair of limited-edition trail mixes inspired by Dunkin’s signature flavours — Caramel Cold Brew and Frosted Donut with Sprinkles.

The collaboration blends Kar’s signature crunchy, sweet-and-savoury trail mix style with the bold, nostalgic flavours that have made Dunkin’ a household name. It’s a move that taps into growing consumer demand for more exciting, flavour-forward snacking options.

The Kar’s X Dunkin’ Caramel Cold Brew Mix is aimed at coffee fans, featuring roasted salted peanuts, butter toffee peanuts, and pink, orange and white cocoa candies, all tied together with caramel cold brew-flavoured almonds. It’s designed to be a snackable take on one of Dunkin’s most popular coffee drinks.

Meanwhile, the Frosted Donut with Sprinkles Mix reimagines the classic treat as a crunchy snack. It includes roasted peanuts, butter toffee peanuts, cocoa candies, and frosted doughnut-flavoured almonds — offering a sweet bite that nods to their iconic bakery items.

Jennifer Bauer, Chief Marketing Officer at Second Nature Brands, which owns Kar’s Nuts, said:

We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Dunkin’ on these two next-level trail mixes. These blends combine Dunkin’s nostalgic, craveable flavours with Kar’s signature sweet and savoury crunch. Whether you’re a coffee lover, a doughnut devotee, or just someone who takes their snacking seriously, these are about to become your new obsession.”

The collaboration arrives just as Dunkin’ continues to expand its spring menu, which recently included the Arctic Cherry Dunkin’ Energy drink and the Cotton Candy Pastel Doughnut.

Available at select retailers, Amazon, and KarsNuts.com, the Kar’s X Dunkin’ mixes are expected to make a splash in the snack aisle, offering a new and exciting option for snack lovers across the US.
