## Story

Duck Donuts is offering a twist on a summertime favorite, the classic ice cream sandwich. Guests can now bite into creamy vanilla ice cream, nestled perfectly between two delicious halves of a Duck Donut.

Available now*, the donut ice cream sandwich can be enjoyed on a rich chocolate cake-based donut or the brand’s traditional vanilla cake donut. To add an extra sprinkle of deliciousness, guests can have their sandwich rolled in their choice of crunchy OREO® Cookie Pieces or colorful sprinkles. It is sure to be a refreshing, sweet treat after a long sunny day.

“This fun product emphasizes our commitment to innovation by looking at our core menu item in a brand-new way,” said Betsy Hamm, Duck Donuts CEO. “There is nothing better than ice cream in the summer, except when it is sandwiched between a Duck Donut. Don’t let the summer slip away without giving this all-new treat a try.”

Duck Donuts specializes in warm, delicious and made-to-order donuts. Upon entering the store, customers are welcomed with the aroma of warm, light vanilla cake donuts. Customers can create their own donut combination by choosing from a variety of coatings, toppings and drizzles, including traditional favorites such as chocolate icing with sprinkles and more adventurous creations such as maple icing with bacon. The family-friendly stores offer a viewing area where children and adults alike can watch their donuts being made.
