The Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Chocolate donut is a chocolate cake donut under a thin sugar glaze, and in 2026 it costs about $1.49–$1.89 with 370 calories. That is 130 calories more than a classic Glazed and 10 fewer than the frosted Double Chocolate, and it is not the yeast-raised Chocolate Frosted. Prices are typical US figures that vary by location.

Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Chocolate Donut Price: One, Six or Twelve (2026)

One Glazed Chocolate donut typically rings up at $1.49–$1.89, the classic-donut band on the Dunkin’ menu with prices. It is priced with the Glazed and the Old Fashioned, not with filled or specialty donuts, so the cocoa cake carries no premium. A typical classic donut runs about $1.59, though each franchise sets its own price.

Boxes lower the cost of each donut. Six run about $7.99–$8.99 and twelve about $14.99–$16.49, which works out to $1.33–$1.50 and roughly $1.25–$1.37 per donut. The dozen figure is the least certain number on this page, so confirm your store’s price in the Dunkin’ app.

App Offers That Beat the Box Price

A $1.00 classic donut has appeared as a Dunkin’ Rewards offer before, and it beats any box rate while it runs. Check the Dunkin’ Rewards program and the current Dunkin’ coupons and deals before you order, and see our guide to Dunkin’ dozen donut pricing for mixed boxes.

Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Chocolate Donut Calories and Nutrition

Dunkin’ lists the Glazed Chocolate at 370 calories, 130 more than a classic Glazed donut (240), or about 54% more. It also sits 60 above the unglazed Old Fashioned (310). That plain cake donut already carries 70 more calories than a glazed yeast ring, so the cake base explains roughly 70 of the 130-calorie gap, leaving about 60 for the cocoa and glaze.

The donut adds 0 mg of caffeine, so the drink you pick decides the caffeine total. Sugar, fat and sodium for the current recipe are printed in Dunkin’s official nutrition guide, so check that PDF for exact macros. To total a donut and a drink, use our Dunkin’ calorie chart.

Glazed Chocolate Calories in Context

One donut is about 19% of the 2,000-calorie day used on US nutrition labels. Six add up to 2,220 calories and twelve to 4,440, so a full box is a sharing order. Even the lightest item in the Dunkin’ muffin lineup (460 calories) has more calories than any donut here.

What Is a Glazed Chocolate Donut? Cake Base, Glaze and Ingredients

A Glazed Chocolate is a cake donut, so its batter rises from chemical leavening rather than yeast. Cocoa goes into that batter, which puts the chocolate flavor through the whole ring instead of on top. After frying, a thin sugar glaze dries to a shiny, slightly crisp shell, and the bite-size version sells as Glazed Chocolate MUNCHKINS.

Dunkin’s official nutrition and allergen guides are the authority on the exact recipe. The list below describes the standard parts of a glazed chocolate cake donut so you know what to expect. If you have a food allergy, read Dunkin’s allergen guide or our Dunkin’ allergen menu summary first, since shared equipment makes cross-contact possible.

What a Glazed Chocolate Cake Donut Is Made Of

• Enriched wheat flour: the structure of the batter, so it contains gluten.
• Cocoa: the dark crumb and bittersweet chocolate flavor.
• Sugar and chemical leavening: sweetness and the cake-style rise.
• Eggs, milk and fat: common cake-batter ingredients for a tender crumb.
• Sugar glaze: a thin, see-through coat that firms as it cools.

Glaze vs Frosting: What Changes on Top

Glaze is a thin, see-through sugar layer, while frosting is thicker and opaque. The Double Chocolate puts chocolate frosting on chocolate cake, and the Chocolate Frosted donut spreads it over a yeast ring. With only glaze on top, the Glazed Chocolate leans on its cocoa cake for flavor.

Allergens, Gluten-Free and Vegan Questions

Dunkin’s official allergen guide lists eggs, milk, soy and wheat for every donut, so this one is not gluten-free. The eggs and milk also rule it out as vegan, and Dunkin’ does not describe any bakery item as allergy-safe. For alternatives, see our rundown of gluten-free options at Dunkin’.

How a Glazed Chocolate Donut Tastes and What to Drink With It

Going by its ingredients, expect cocoa cake first and a thin, sweet crackle from the glaze second. The crumb is tighter and heavier than a yeast ring, closer to a muffin than to the airy Glazed. With so little topping, the cake carries the flavor, which makes plain coffee or tea a natural match.

The table adds one donut to six Medium drinks. Hot black tea keeps the order at 370 calories and a black Medium hot coffee at 375, for about $4.18–$4.58 in total. A French Vanilla swirl coffee pushes it to about 540 calories, and a classic frozen coffee to about 980, roughly 49% of a 2,000-calorie day.

How to Keep the Drink From Adding Sugar

An unsweetened flavor shot adds just 5–10 calories and no sugar. Each sweetened swirl pump adds about 50–55 calories and roughly 12 grams of sugar, and a Medium gets 3 pumps. Our Dunkin’ flavor shot and swirl guide compares both, and the French Vanilla coffee breakdown covers the sweet version. A Medium Dunkin’ hot chocolate brings the pair to about 650 calories.

Cheapest Way to Buy a Glazed Chocolate Donut: Box, MUNCHKINS or App Offer

Outside of app offers, a dozen is the lowest regular price at about $1.25–$1.37 per donut. At midpoint prices, a box of six cuts the per-donut cost by about 16% against singles and a box of twelve by about 22%. Delivery apps go the other way, since their menus usually run above in-store and Dunkin’ app prices.

Glazed Chocolate MUNCHKINS offer the same flavor in bite-size pieces. Stores that sell single holes charge about $0.69 each, while a 50-count works out to roughly 24¢–28¢ a piece. Many shops pack assorted boxes, so ask for an all-Glazed Chocolate box; our MUNCHKINS price guide covers every count.

Glazed Chocolate MUNCHKINS Prices per Piece

At midpoint prices, the cost of one full donut buys about 5 holes from a 10-count box, a sensible way to share a little chocolate cake.

Five Smart Glazed Chocolate Donut Orders, Ranked

These five orders are ranked by value for the money and calories, using only the figures on this page. The first keeps a donut and coffee under 400 calories, and the next two feed a group. The last two cover small bites and the cheapest single donut during an app offer.

The office pick pairs a dozen with a Box O’ Joe, which holds 96 fluid ounces, or about 10 small cups. A half-and-half box of Glazed Chocolate and classic Glazed trims 390 calories from an all-chocolate half dozen at the same price. The Rewards pick only works in the Dunkin’ app, while the rest also work at the counter or drive-thru.

Glazed Chocolate vs Glazed and Double Chocolate Donuts

On calories, the Glazed Chocolate sits between its two closest rivals. The yeast-raised Glazed donut comes in at 240, 130 fewer, while the Double Chocolate donut tops chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and lands at 380, just 10 more. All three carry the same classic-donut price of about $1.49–$1.89, so the choice comes down to texture and topping.

Two more cake donuts round out the table. The unglazed Old Fashioned donut skips cocoa and glaze and comes in 60 calories lighter, and the seasonal Pumpkin donut adds a fall option at 380 calories while it is in season. Filled and frosted flavors are on our Dunkin’ donut menu page.

Glazed Chocolate vs Double Chocolate: Glaze or Frosting?

With only 10 calories between them, calories barely separate these two. The Double Chocolate’s frosting adds a second layer of chocolate, and Dunkin’ lists it at 22 grams of sugar. The Glazed Chocolate keeps the cocoa cake in front under a thin, clear shell.

Cake or Yeast: Picking a Chocolate Donut

For chocolate on a softer dough, the Chocolate Frosted and the Boston Kreme both use a yeast-raised base with chocolate frosting. The ridged French Cruller is another light-textured choice, though it has no chocolate.

Is the Glazed Chocolate Donut on the Menu Year-Round?

Yes, the Glazed Chocolate is one of Dunkin’s everyday classic donuts, not a limited-time release. That sets it apart from the Pumpkin donut, which came back with the Dunkin’ fall menu on August 19, 2026 and is sold only for the season. Dunkin’s current nutrition guide still lists it at 370 calories.

Being on the national menu does not guarantee it is in your store’s case. Each franchise chooses which flavors to stock and how many, so a popular flavor can run out before closing. The Dunkin’ app shows what your store has for mobile orders, and a phone call is the surest way to hold a full box.

How to Order a Glazed Chocolate Donut in the App, Drive-Thru or Store

This donut has no sizes or build options, so the only real decision is how many to buy. At the counter or drive-thru, just name the donut, or pick a box for the lower per-donut price. In the Dunkin’ app, it sits with the other donuts at your store’s current price.

The drink you add moves the order totals more than anything else. A Medium iced coffee adds 24 ounces, about 5 calories and about 297 mg of caffeine for about $3.29. Ordering in the app is also how you use any Rewards offers on your account.

1. Check the app or call ahead to make sure your store has Glazed Chocolate in the case.
2. Order a single, or name the box size and how many Glazed Chocolate you want in it.
3. Prefer bites? Ask for Glazed Chocolate MUNCHKINS in a 3, 5, 10, 25 or 50 count.
4. Pick black coffee, tea or an unsweetened shot to keep the order under 400 calories.

Final Verdict: Is the Dunkin’ Glazed Chocolate Donut Worth It?

Yes, for anyone who wants chocolate cake rather than a thick layer of frosting. It costs the same classic price as a Glazed, about $1.49–$1.89, and puts cocoa all the way through for 370 calories. The trade-offs are 130 extra calories over a Glazed and a denser bite than a yeast ring.

The best buy is a dozen at about $1.25–$1.37 per donut, or a $1.00 Rewards offer when one appears. Keep the drink unsweetened and the donut-and-coffee order stays under 400 calories. For more chocolate, our Double Chocolate breakdown shows what frosting adds for 10 more calories, and our list of every donut flavor on the menu points to lighter picks.

Dunkin’ Donuts Glazed Chocolate Donut: Frequently Asked Questions

Most searches about this donut come down to four things: price, calories, what kind of donut it is and whether stores still carry it. The biggest mix-up is the name, since many people expect a yeast ring with chocolate glaze and get a chocolate cake donut with a sugar glaze. The second surprise is the calorie count, well above the plain Glazed.

Prices are typical 2026 US figures compiled from several price surveys, and every franchise sets its own. Calories are the figures Dunkin’ publishes in its nutrition guide, which also lists fat, sugar and sodium. If the app shows a different price for your store, go with the app.
