“We’ve done it,” said Dave Skena, chief marketing officer at Krispy Kreme. “We’ve achieved our goal of putting krispety, crunchety, glazey, chocolatey and peanut buttery all in a donut. Fans of both brands are going to love the chocolatey crunchiness of Butterfinger matched with the airy sweetness of Krispy Kreme.”
Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corp. started the new year with downsizing … of its donuts. The chain in January began serving Original Glazed Mini Doughnuts, smaller versions of its four most popular donuts “to help fans keep their New Year’s resolutions,” the company said.
The tiny treats are miniature versions of Krispy Kreme’s original glazed, chocolate iced glazed, chocolate iced with sprinkles, and strawberry iced with sprinkles donuts. Each donut contains fewer than 100 calories.
“Too many people bail on their New Year’s resolutions before they are even halfway through January,” said Dave Skena, chief marketing officer for Krispy Kreme. “That’s no good. Sometimes a mini-indulgence, or cheat, is all you need to help you stick with it. So, we miniaturized our most popular donuts. A little Krispy Kreme goes a long way.”
Krispy Kreme prepared for the holiday season in December 2019 with the debut of the new Gingerbread Glazed Original Filled with Cheesecake Doughnut. The spiced gingerbread donut is filled with cheesecake Kreme.
The donut maker also introducing the Original Glazed Reindeer Doughnut. Dipped in chocolate icing and decorated with pretzel antlers, candy eyes and a red nose to look like a reindeer, the donut joins the Santa Belly Doughnut and the Present Doughnut in Krispy Kreme’s holiday collection.
“The North Pole is the perfect inspiration for Krispy Kreme to bring wonder, fun and deliciousness to our fans during the holidays,” said Dave Skena, chief marketing officer for Krispy Kreme. “We hope we can be one of the ways you spread joy to others this season.”
Popular pie varieties met a breakfast mainstay in the new “Easy as Pie” donut collection launched in November 2019 from Krispy Kreme.
Available through Thanksgiving Day, the donuts came in three pie-inspired varieties: Dutch apple pie, chocolate crème pie and cherry pie.
The Dutch apple pie donut is stuffed with apple pie filling, dipped in caramel icing and finished with streusel topping and a drizzle of icing.
The chocolate crème pie variety is filled with chocolate Kreme, dipped in chocolate icing, topped with a dollop of Kreme and finished with miniature chocolate chips.
The Cherry Pie donut is topped with pie crust crumbles, a cherry filling and a drizzle of icing.
“There’s nothing easy about making pie, but doughnutized pies are a different story,” said Dave Skena, chief marketing officer at Krispy Kreme. “We’ve taken some of your favorites and transformed them into delicious doughnuts. Buy. Share. Eat. Easy as pie.”
