Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop Brings Back Its Egg-cellent Easter Egg Donut

The Decorated Egg-Shaped Donut Returns to All U.S. Restaurants for a Limited Time

DUBLIN, OH, March 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop's colorful spring treat—The Easter Egg Donut—is now available for a limited time at any U.S. Tim Hortons Cafe & Bake Shop restaurant.

The special Easter Egg Donut first hopped into U.S. restaurants in March 2012 and returns just in time for spring. The egg-shaped, yeast donut—available now through March 30—is dipped in chocolate fondant and accented with pastel-colored icing in honor of the egg-decorating pastime.

"It's always fun to celebrate the holidays with our guests," said Mike Meilleur, executive vice president, Tim Hortons U.S. "The Easter Egg Donut was a popular seasonal treat last year with many of our guests—both big and small."

There is no extra charge for the egg-cellent donut; it retails at the everyday price of an individual donut.
