CANTON, Mass., Dec. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As 2014 comes to a close, Dunkin' Donuts has introduced two new menu items to help keep on-the-go guests running into the New Year: the Chocolate Croissant and the Tomato Mozzarella Supreme Bagel. Dunkin' Donuts today also launched a special New Year's themed Twitter sweepstakes to help coffee lovers brew a very happy start to 2015.

Dunkin' Donuts' new Chocolate Croissant features flaky croissant dough with chocolaty filling, served warm, and available nationwide at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants. The new Tomato Mozzarella Supreme Bagel is a plain bagel with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and herb topping, served whole and warm, and available at select Dunkin' Donuts restaurants. Both new items are available beginning today and through early 2015.

To welcome 2015 and celebrate Dunkin' Donuts' Dark Roast Coffee, the brand's bold new brew introduced in 2014, Dunkin' Donuts has launched a special New Year's Twitter Sweepstakes. Beginning today and continuing through Wednesday, December 31, followers of @DunkinDonuts will be asked a New Year's themed question each day, and all who tweet an answer using the special hashtag #DDNewYearSweeps will be entered to win one of three daily prizes of Dunkin' Donuts coffee for a year. Additionally, each day 15 participants will be randomly selected to receive a $100 mGift prize to help them enjoy Dunkin' Donuts' Dark Roast Coffee and other favorite Dunkin' Donuts food and beverages well into 2015. No purchase necessary, must be 18+ and a legal resident of the U.S. or District of Columbia to enter. Void where prohibited.

A highlight of the brand's commitment to menu innovation in 2014, Dunkin' Donuts Rainforest Alliance Certified™ Dark Roast Coffee uses a unique blending and roasting process to bring out key characteristics of different beans, creating a bold flavor and the smooth finish without the bitterness typically associated with most dark roast coffees. Dunkin' Donuts' Dark Roast Coffee features the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal, indicating that it is made with at least 30% coffee beans sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. Dunkin' Donuts' guests can enjoy the Dark Roast Coffee served either hot or iced, and it is also available for sale for brewing at home in both packaged coffee and in K-Cup® packs, for use with Keurig® Brewing systems.*

For a perfect pairing with Dark Roast Coffee, Dunkin' Donuts is introducing a Turkey Sausage Flatbread, featuring turkey sausage, egg and reduced fat cheddar cheese, now served on an oven-toasted multigrain flatbread. The Turkey Sausage Flatbread is also available as a Wake-up Wrap, served on a flour tortilla.
