The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that the Dutchie is returning to the Tim Hortons menu. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post says that the sweet, square-shaped treat speckled with raisins dates back to the brand's 1964 inception but was taken off the menu in the early 2000s. It made a short-lived reappearance in 2017 for Canada's 150th anniversary. Come Jan. 10 though, the Dutchie will return for a limited time at the fast-food company's almost 4,000 Canadian restaurants. The Dutchie's return comes as Tims prepares to sprinkle its menu with a number of new products and old favourites to mark its 60th anniversary on May 17. The milestone year will pay homage to some of the original treats on the menu when the first Tims opened in Hamilton, Ont. Long before the brand begun by late Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tim Horton was synonymous with Canada and a staple across hockey rinks, offices and morning commutes, Tims had a more simplified menu with items like apple fritters, still sold today, and the Dutchie. Tims is promising four "retro" doughnuts will reappear in 2024. Much of the work to arrive at the right Dutchie recipe for 2024 was completed in the company's massive test kitchen in Toronto.
