First, there was iced coffee. Now, frozen hot chocolate.
Canton-based Dunkin' Donuts is gearing up for summer with the new addition to its beverage lineup. The company said in a press release that the drink, available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide, "delivers the rich, comforting taste of Dunkin' Donuts classic hot chocolate in an icy cold beverage."
Frozen drinks have seen an increase in popularity over the past few years at the company, according to John Costello, chief of global marketing at Dunkin' Brands, the parent company located in Canton.
