New York (CNN Business) Dunkin's new menu item is Snoop Dogg-approved.

Beginning Monday, the chain will sell a Beyond Sausage patty with egg and cheese, served on a sliced glazed donut. The sandwich will only be available for a week, and its the latest promotion for the plant-based protein since it launched nationally in November.

The "Beyond D-O-Double G Sandwich," as its called, was inspired by the rapper's "passion for plant-based protein and love of glazed donuts," according to a press release. Dunkin' first enlisted Snoop last year and surprised customers with the plant-based meat in a TV ad campaign.

Dunkin' DNKN Snoop and Dunkin' are also opening a pop-up store, which includes a green tracksuit emblazoned with the words "Glazzzed for Days" and other clothes, later this month. A launch date hasn't been announced yet. Somerestaurants in the US are handing out free samples of the original Beyond Sausage Sandwich on the mornings of January 24 and 25.

Sales of the sandwich were more than twice as high as expected. The response was so strong that it pushed up the national rollout by two months.
