Enjoy Your Morning Coffee with The Pioneer Woman

by Jennifer SwartvagherJanuary 22, 2021

Start your day with a hot mug of coffee and Ree Drummond. The Pioneer Woman, in partnership with Zavida Coffee Roasters, has launched a brand-new, premium coffee line.

“Mornings come very early on our ranch,” Drummond said. “Coffee is one of my favorite things about rising and shining, and I love to sip it all day. My coffee line with Zavida Coffee Roasters includes both high-quality coffee beans and single-serve cups in both flavored and non-flavored blends that I think you will absolutely love!”

The Pioneer Woman line includes premium ground coffee beans and single-serve cups featuring three non-flavored blends: Up & At ‘Em (Breakfast Roast), Saddle Up (Medium Roast), and Giddy Up (Dark Roast).

The line also includes a range of flavored blends, carefully developed by Drummond, and inspired by her popular recipes. Flavored blends include:

Hazelnut Vanilla: This coffee blend celebrates all things hazelnut with added vanilla flavor.
Cinnamon Rolls: Inspired by Ree’s mom’s legendary cinnamon roll recipe.
Toffee Crème Brûlee: This indulgent blend celebrates Ree’s favorite dessert: Crème Brûlée.
Caramel Fudge Brownie: Ree loves layered caramel fudge brownies so much, it inspired this blend.
Pecan Pie: Pecan pie is the ultimate dessert in the Drummond family. This coffee blend is like pecan pie in a cup, with the same custardy goodness you’d expect.
French Vanilla: A cup of French vanilla coffee is hard to beat, and it’s a staple in Ree’s coffee rotation.
Pumpkin Spice: The pumpkin spice flavors are amped up in this seasonal blend, and just a sip makes you feel happy.
Spicy Cowgirl (Coming Soon): Ree’s signature spicy coffee drink made with notes of chocolate, cinnamon, chile, and cayenne now turned into beans to enjoy at home.

“At Zavida, we’re all about great tasting coffee – and we’re excited to bring our passion for combining the world’s best coffees with unique flavors to the Pioneer Woman brand. Our team crafted these blends to be enjoyed both hot and cold-brewed, so Ree’s fans can indulge in her favorite treats one steamy (or iced) cup at a time,” said Charles Litterst, Chairman at Zavida Coffee Roasters.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Zavida Coffee Roasters to bring The Pioneer Woman Coffee to retailers nationwide,” said Jeffrey Cohen, co-chairman at Earthbound. “This partnership marks the continued expansion in an important category for the brand, food, to bring the most popular flavors from Ree’s recipes into her fans’ homes.”

The Pioneer Woman coffee single serve cups are currently available for purchase online at Walmart, Amazon and Zavida.com. Ground beans will be available for purchase in late Spring 2021. The coffee line will be at retailers nationwide later this year.

Bold New Choices Are Brewing at Dunkin’

by Jennifer SwartvagherDecember 29, 2020

Heading into the new year, people could use a little extra encouragement, extra energy and extra excitement. Dunkin’ is taking charge, brewing the extra boost everyone needs to tackle 2021 and get things done. Dunkin’ today announced the addition of Extra Charged Coffee to its menu, packing 20% more caffeine than Dunkin’s classic Hot and Iced Coffee, while delivering the same great taste.

Dunkin’ is also introducing two bold new hot coffees, Dunkin’ Midnight and Explorer Batch, to kick off the year.

Dunkin’ Midnight: New Dunkin’ Midnight is the brand’s darkest roast ever, featuring a rich, smooth, full-bodied flavor, rounded out with notes of decadent cocoa and an intensely dark finish. Dunkin’ Midnight joins the beloved Original Blend and Dunkin’ Decaf as a permanent addition to the brand’s coffee lineup.

Explorer Batch: The first coffee blend to be introduced as part of Dunkin’s new Limited Batch Series, Explorer Batch is a medium roast featuring dark berry notes, rounded out with a smoky finish. To craft its unique Explorer Batch, Dunkin’ sourced beans from four highly regarded coffee regions, including Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Sumatra. Explorer Batch will be available for a limited time, with new Limited Batch Series coffees to be introduced throughout the year.

Available at participating Dunkin’ restaurants nationwide beginning Dec. 30, Extra Charged Coffee, served hot or iced, features green coffee extract that gives coffee drinkers an extra boost with 20% more caffeine. For an extra incentive to try the brand’s buzziest new beverage, Dunkin’ will be offering Medium Extra Charged Coffee for $2 through Jan. 26.

“Since opening our doors more than 70 years ago, Dunkin’ has served a superior cup of coffee. Now, for the first time in our history, we’re offering the boldest and most diverse assortment of blends and customization options to fuel a new era of coffee at Dunkin’,” said Jill Nelson, Vice President, Marketing & Culinary at Dunkin’. “From the darkest roast in our portfolio to the most caffeinated hot and iced coffee varieties, we are more committed than ever to keeping Americans running on Dunkin’ in 2021.”

In a new year filled with new brews, coffee lovers can find the perfect Dunkin’ drink to match their mood, and perhaps, a little something extra. From Dec. 30 through Jan. 31, the My Dunkin’ Mood Quiz will ask questions that help gauge guests’ vibes, and then recommend one of the brand’s coffee beverages that can best fuel them through the day. Everyone who participates can enter to win one of five amazing prizes, including Dunkin’ coffee for a year, $5,000 in cash, and more.

Dunkin’ will continue to surprise fans with a little something extra throughout the month of January, so they should stay tuned for updates on the Dunkin’ App and the brand’s social channels.

To bring a little sweetness to help ring in the New Year, Dunkin’ has a fun new donut to pair with its new coffee options. The new Dunkfetti Donut features a cake donut ring with special celebration confetti sprinkles baked within, and topped with a sweet glaze. For more information about this new limited time donut and other snacks being served at Dunkin’ in January, including a Gluten-Free Fudge Brownie and Croissant Stuffers, please see here.

You Can Eat This New Nestlé Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough Right Out of the Tub

by Shahrzad WarkentinJanuary 19, 2020

It’s always tempting to indulge in a bite of cookie dough, but for safety reasons it’s not a good idea. Thankfully Nestlé Tollhouse has created edible cookie dough.

The new Funfetti Edible Cookie Dough and Edible Fudge Brownie Batter are designed to taste exactly like the same batter your kids wish they could eat by the spoonful, minus the dangerous ingredients, like raw eggs. Which of course, means you can’t actually bake this dough––it’s made just for eating as it is.

“We wanted to expand our edible cookie dough offerings to make it even easier to enjoy your favorite dessert right out of the container,” said Samantha Set, Associate Brand Manager, NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE. “This expanded collection of Edible cookie doughs provide even more ways to create fun, lasting memories while snacking on your favorite treats – no baking needed!”

Both new flavors of edible cookie dough will be available in stores nationwide, like Walmart, ShopRite, Hy-Vee and Meijer starting at the end of Jan. 2020. You can find them in the refrigerated section next to the regular cookie dough with a suggested price of $5.39 for a 15 oz. tub.
