Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Dunkin' Donuts has rolled out a new Lucky Mint Donut and Green Shamrock Donut. The Lucky Mint is a glazed chocolate cake donut topped with chocolate icing and a mint chocolate bark topping. The Green Shamrock is a yeast ring donut garnished with green icing and shamrock-shaped sprinkles.

Both are available through the end of March at participating restaurants nationwide.

"In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, Dunkin' Donuts is excited to spread some seasonal cheer with our Lucky Mint and Green Shamrock Donuts," said Stan Frankenthaler, Dunkin' Brands' executive chef and vice president of Product Innovation. "We know that donuts bring fun and joy to any event, and we specifically designed these donuts to make the holiday even sweeter for our guests this year."

Additionally, Dunkin' Donuts is launching a "GooDD Luck" Twitter Sweepstakes. Now through March 16, followers of @DunkinDonuts on Twitter can share what brings them luck using the hashtag #GooDDLuck for the chance to win one of seven $50 Dunkin' Donuts Cards, which will be distributed throughout the week.
