It’s the finale of our three-part recipe series and that means it’s all about the dessert! Leading up to this holiday, we’ve presented you with a variety of recipes to complete your Thanksgiving meal. In Part 1, we introduced our recipes for our Spiced Orange Spritzer and Cranberry Brie Hash Brown Canapés. In Part 2, it was all about the turkey and putting a Dunkin’ spin on the classic side dishes like stuffing and vegetables. For dessert, we have two delicious and quick recipes using Dunkin’ Donuts’ Coffee Cake Muffins and Old Fashioned Donuts. We hope you enjoy all of our recipes and have a very Dunkin’ Thanksgiving!
