Guess what I’m giving away today for Fabulous Friday Giveaway? I think the big orange and pink letters gave it away. A Dunkin’ Donuts Gift pack! We don’t have many Dunkin’ Donuts shops around here, so I was thrilled when they wanted me to review their coffee and even more thrilled to find out you can buy Dunkin’ Donuts Original Blend packaged coffee at the grocery store now!
Probably much safer……..at least you won’t be tempted to buy a yummy donut too.
I tried their original blend and I liked it! Living in the NW, I’ve become a bit of a coffee snob…….it’s what we do here. But instead of just saying “hey, I liked it”, I thought I’d try a recipe using their coffee too.
I adapted the recipe from one I found on MyRecipes.com
Tangy Coffee Barbecue Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup dunkin’ donuts brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (I made my own)
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
Combine ketchup, coffee, brown sugar, onion flakes, garlic powder and chili powder in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in pepper, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce.
Enter to win the Gift Basket! One lucky winner will receive one bag of Original Blend, one bag decaf and 2 Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Mugs.
Please leave me a comment telling me if you’ve ever used coffee in any recipe? Or do you just prefer to drink it? Oh I love my coffee.
I received compensation for this post, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t tell you the truth about how I feel about Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee! I was happy to review it since I have never tried it before. Would you like to try it? Enter the giveaway and you can also visit their site to find coffee promotions, coupons, special offers and more.

I just prefer to drink my coffee ヅ *Thanks* for the giveaway!
I put a spoon of coffee into my morning oatmeal – so it is a 2 in 1 breakfast, food and wake-me-up drink in one bowl
I’ve used coffee in several recipes. I’ve made a chocolate cake and chili that both had coffee in them. It adds a richness to the flavor but not a strong taste that you could recognize. I miss Dunkin Donuts. When we lived in Maine we had one close by our home and we stopped in several time a week. We don’t have one where I live in SC. Sure do miss it! Be blessed.
I have never used coffee in a recipe, but I enjoy drinking it!
I use cofee in my chocolate frosting – great!
I’ve used coffee and orange juice in brownies – made them nice and rich!
I prefer to drink my coffee, but I have never tried it in food.
I am a DD addict–I even bring some with me on vacation–just in case. I regularly use coffee in brownies, chocolate cake and chocolate icing. I also tried it in a brisket recipe–not a total success. In general, though, yummy!
I have not used coffee in a recipe, but I do like to drink it & my hubby LOVES dunkin donuts coffee. He’s a new englander
They do love their dunkin’.
I absolutely love coffee in deserts! Best in a traditional Italian Tiramisu.
I don’t drink coffee and I don’t believe I’ve ever used in a recipe.
I use coffee in recipes a lot, cake,cheesecake, and sauce recipes.
I’ve used espresso powder in a brownie recipe and brewed coffee in chocolate cake.
I haven’t tried coffee in a recipe yet, but I bet it would be good! =) Thanks for hosting this giveaway, I love dunkin donuts!!
I love my coffee in any form, but my favorite way is by IV drip straight into my veins
Thanks for the giveaway – I *heart* Dunkin Donuts coffee!
At the moment, I am drinking my morning cup of coffee, not DD coffee but still good. I have not tried coffee in recipes “YET” but oh I am now. Love the recipe. Thank you for such a wonderful give-a-way!
I can’t think of any recipe that I’ve made that used coffee….but I sure do love to drink it! Right now, I have a gallon in my fridge that I use to make iced coffee (Pioneer Woman’s recipe) and it is delish! Would love to try some Duncan Donuts coffee as I’ve never had it before!!
Love Love Love my DD coffee. Being in the south it’s sometimes hard to find, but my grandmother used to send me a few bags from NY every holiday (thank God for Grandmothers!). I’ve used coffee in baking (cakes, brownies and cookies) but not so much in regular cooking. It makes dark chocolate cakes fabulous!
I love to drink and cook with it. I am so excited that we are getting a Dunkin’ Donuts!
Oh coffee, I am not sure if you consider my home made Frappe a recipe, but it is made with coffee ice cubes. How about coffee frosting on a chocolate cake? YUM
I just prefer to drink it. Great way to start the day!! : )
Thanks for the awsome giveaway.
Years ago, I learned to add coffee to chocolate frosting to give it a good dark flavor. Thanks for the giveaway!
Never thought of using coffee in a recipe! I just drink it, mmmmmm, love my coffee!

LOVE LOVE LOVE to drink coffee! I have a recipe for brownie icing that uses coffee.
I haven’t cooked with coffee but I do drink alot of it. I do reuse my coffee ground and put them in the flower beds. They make good mulch for the worms. Love to win some Dunkin Donuts coffee, love it.
I have used coffee as an ingredient in homemade Pumpernickel bread!
I prefer to drink it but I would definitely cook with it too.

Besides loving coffee I have used it to make coffee ice cream. Um-m-m great!

I just prefer to drink my coffee.
I am a coffee snob!! My b rother in law was nice enough to bring us a BIG can of another brand of coffee and refused it because we only drink Dunkin. He looked at me like I had two heads but that is one luxury we afford ourselves and it is COFFEE!! We have to drive 20 miles for dunkin, so we stock up.
I have used leftover coffee in many recipes – to add flavor to frosting, cakes, etc. I am certainly going to try your recipe and give it to my daughter – she is a bbq sauce junkie!!!
Thank you for sharing!!
I love Dunkin Coffee but never thought to use it in a receipe! I will try the sauce this weekend!
Oh yes, I do use it in recipes….but my ultimate fav is to make coffee drink recipes. Cafe mocha, anyone?!
i LOVE coffee, but i’ve never used it in a recipe. And strangely, i don’t like coffee flavored things…except actual coffee. weird, i guess. thanks for offering this!
I have used coffee in a recipe.
I’m just a coffee drinker, but I’d drink the mild
. My husband lives a dark brew though!
You had never had DD before? Wow! DD is my favorite coffee!
I’ve used in in making cakes.
I love coffee! I have wanted to try Dunkin’ Donuts for a long time. Living in a rural area we don’t have any dunkin donuts. I would have tried it when they started selling the ground coffee in grocery stores but it was too expensive to try if it turned out I didn’t like it. Thanks for this chance!
I live in Canada, so no Dunkin’ Donuts here. We love coffee – dark roast. I’ve used coffee in dessert recipes, but never anything savory. I’ll have to give it a try, especially since my husband is in the midst of building a smoker.
I have used it in a BBQ rub – it was delicious!
I live in the NW now, but really began loving DD while on the East Coast. One of my favorite places. Still beats the competition. I use coffee occasionally in Mexican dishes. Drinking DD coffee just brings back memories.
Oh, how I love coffee – I prefer to brew my own and pretty much drink it all day long. I love it so much it is a part of my website name (the wired part). Dunkin Donuts is my absolute favorite and we buy it in the big bags because you can never get enough. I haven’t used it in a recipe, I prefer to slurp it up. But have thought about an IV bag once or twice……
I am just a coffee drinker but this recipe does look tasty. My last name is Duncan and I do work in a cop shop (911 emergency dispatcher) how fun would it be to take this basket to work!!!
I made a chocolate mocha triffle for my sister’s birthday and it was delicious! I’ve also recently started drinking coffee in the morning & would love to try Dunkin Donuts!
My hubby loves dunkin donuts! I have never used coffee in recipes. Thanks, mamatkins@hotmail.com
I prefer to just drink it, but since I usually make it special, it turns into a recipe of sorts anyway!
I have used coffee in my chocolate cookie recipe. Mmmmm! : )
I have never used coffee in a recipe NOR do I drink it, but my husband LOVES Dunkin’ Donuts coffee! I love the smell of it in the morning too, but I prefer to stick with my chai tea.
Never used coffee in a recipe before… I don’t particularly like it, but my husband does! this coffee prize pack could be an awesome Father’s Day gift!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I don’t think I could “waste” a good cup of coffee in a recipe!
I love coffee too much!
Ive used it in muffins but I think that’s all. Mostly we just love to drink it!
coffee in a recipe? hmm… I’ll have to try it if I win
I love my coffee too! There is nothing better in the morning. I can acutally hear when my coffee finishes brewing on the weekends. Needless-to-say, I wake up happy!
I would love to win. My mil makes a wonderful coffee grounds roast. I prefer to drink my coffee.
i recently made a Coffee Cake that required a cup of fresh brewed coffee! it was YUMMY! and i love love love DD coffee. We used to live in Brunswick, ME and we were coffee snobs too. Since we’ve been stationed out west we miss those happy stops at DD. one of the things we are most looking forward to as we head back east this summer!!
I have never used coffee in an recipe as I consider myself a new coffee drinker. I started out with Starbucks, but that became too pricey, so my hubby and I had to find something to make at home that wasn’t too coffee-ish-tasting, but was cheaper. So, we’ve been drinking Yuban with some, or a lot of vanilla creamer. Anyway, so I’d be very interested in trying some Dunkin Coffee!!
Whoo Hoo! This is a delectable prize basket giveaway…..
I have made cakes with coffee as an ingredient and they are delicious!
Many thanks, Cindi

I haven’t ever used coffee in cooking but have seen many chocolate cake recipes calling for it that I would like to try.
