After 76,500 donut creations, an eight-finalist showdown in front of a celebrity panel, and the public weighing in with their opinion, the Love Reese's® to Pieces donut, created by Jennifer Brown of Glencoe, Ontario, is the last donut standing in the Tim Hortons Dueling Donuts contest.
Made with a chocolate yeast base, the Love Reese's® to Pieces donut is filled with crème brûlée, covered in chocolate fondant and white dots, and topped with peanuts and peanut butter cup candy.
The inspiration for Jennifer's donut came in the wee hours of the night when she couldn't sleep and was looking to pass some time. "I imagined a few donut flavours that I would love to try," she says. "A peanut donut is an untapped resource – something that's hard to find, but that we all want!"
The Love Reese's® to Pieces donut received 47% of total contest votes and is expected to be available in Tim Hortons restaurants in the coming months.
