Stan's Donuts and Fannie May collaborate on Trinidad-inspired chocolate donut, now available through March 10 to fuel city's birthday celebrations

CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Two legendary Chicago brands are teaming up to celebrate the city's 189th birthday in the most delicious way possible. Stan's Donuts & Coffee has partnered with Fannie May to create a limited-edition Fannie May Trinidad-inspired chocolate donut that pays homage to what both brands - and Chicago itself - do best: bringing people together over exceptional treats.

The collaboration is now available at Stan's locations and select Fannie May stores through March 10, so Chicagoans can properly celebrate the city's birthday on March 4. But local fans shouldn't wait - this limited-time offering is only available while supplies last.

"When two iconic Chicago brands come together, it's only fitting we create something special to honor the city we call home," said Horace Kee, Senior Brand Manager, Fannie May. "This collaboration is our love letter to Chicago - a city that's always celebrated creativity, quality, and a little indulgence."

The donut features a chocolate yeast Bismark filled with decadent chocolate cream and dipped in toasted coconut white chocolate - a celebration of Trinidad-inspired flavors that showcases both brands' commitment to chocolate excellence. Each donut purchase also comes with a special coupon offer to use during their next Fannie May store visit, so fans can keep the chocolate celebration going and continue to discover what makes Chicago's chocolate scene so special.

"We wanted to create something that honors both brands' legacies while giving Chicagoans something truly special," said Rich Labriola, Chief Doughboy. "Whether you're picking up one or a dozen for the city's birthday, this donut does what both our brands have always done best - bringing people together over something delicious."
