If you have so far managed to miss the cronut craze and are still wondering what the fuss is all about, now’s your chance.

On Tuesday, from 7 to 9 a.m. -- or until the doughnuts run out -- Dunkin’ Donuts is bringing its new “Croissant Donut sampling vehicle” to Boston to give people the chance to taste its new (don’t call it a cronut) Croissant Donut, which Dunkin’ describes as a “delicate and flaky croissant ring that is glazed like a donut.”

Cronuts were invented by Chef Dominique Ansel and trademarked by his Bakery in New York City. The craze swept through New York City last year, with long lines forming outside his shop and black-market cronuts selling for as much as $40 -- eight times the already outrageous $5 counter price.
