Like any Canadian, I'm no stranger to Tim Hortons. I've tried more donuts than I can count over the years, including the infamous Timbiebs, and the secret menu items, too.

So when Tim Hortons announced it would be re-releasing a fun donut in support of the Special Olympics that I actually tried last year, it made me remember how much I enjoyed the donut the first time around.

The Special Olympics Donut, which was called the Choose To Include donut last year, is a chocolate cake ring with white fondant, coloured sprinkles, and whipped topping.

From February 3-5, you can pick up the same delicious treat which once again will help support athlethes with "an intellectual disability access more opportunities to reach their full potential in sport and in life." All of the proceeds from the donut sales are being donated directly to the Special Olympics mission.

When I checked out the donut last year, I remember them looking and tasting way better than I anticipated.

I'm a big fan of the original chocolate cake donut, and everything that was added on top just made it better. The glaze added a really nice sweetness and a bit of moisture to the bite, which is great since the donut itself can be a lil' dry.

The sprinkles added a fun crunch, so they did serve a purpose other than just for aesthetics. As for the whipped cream, which is what I was feeling the iffiest about, it turned out to be my favourite bit. Yes, it got all over my face, but I found myself giggling like an idiot alone in my apartment, so that's always a plus.

It's honestly one of my favourite donuts Tim Hortons has ever had and I'm happy it's back again this year, if only for a short period of time again.

So if you want to give it a try, you only have until February 5 to taste it yourself!
