Krispy Kreme may seem like it’s only been around for a decade or two, but the confectionary kingpin dates back to 1937 when it started selling its hot glazed doughnuts to local grocers in Winston-Salem, N.C.
86 years later, Krispy Kreme hasn’t strayed too far from its mission of providing doughnuts to the masses, but that’s changing with a new “Cookie Blast” menu option – on a limited basis in select U.S. stores – on April 17.
Don't Miss: Krispy Kreme has been a Disaster for Investors
The Charlotte, N.C.-based doughnut maker is offering three brand-new cookie-themed menu options and one old stalwart.
OREO and CHIPS AHOY!®Cookie Blast Doughnut. Krispy Kreme marketers call this doughnut “A crazy explosion of cookies”. The doughnut is filled with two Chips Ahoy chewy cookies and Oreo cookies and Krispy Kreme filling, then dipped in cookie dough icing and a blend of Oreo and Chips Ahoy cookie pieces. Finally, it’s decorated with an Oreo cookie and Kreme dollop and one mini-Oreo cookie, and one mini Chips Ahoy cookie.
A Chips Ahoy Candy Blasts Doughnut. This one’s an original Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut dipped in cookie dough icing and topped with Chips Ahoy cookie pieces, milk chocolate candy gems, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Chips Ahoy Cookie Dough Kreme Doughnut: This doughnut is filled with Chips Ahoy cookies and Krispy Kreme filling, dipped in chocolate icing and drizzled with cookie dough icing, and topped with Chips Ahoy mini cookies.
Oreo Cookies & Kreme Oreo Cookies & Kreme-filled Doughnut: Krispy Kreme is also out with a doughnut filled with Oreo cookies and Kreme filling, dipped in chocolate icing, topped with Oreo cookie pieces and drizzled in icing.
Krispy Kreme promises to “blow away” its fan base with the new cookie-themed doughnuts. It’s also sweetening the pot with a Krispy Kreme six-pack featuring the new cookie doughnuts at participating grocery stores.
