As we approach Halloween, our porches are adorned with Jack-o’-lanterns winking at us, accompanied by orange and black streamers and faux cobwebs, creating a spooky ambiance. Even the weather has gifted us with an October cold snap, setting the stage for the spookiest season of the year.
Halloween brings with it a delightful array of festivities, including playful costumes, trick-or-treaters, and creepy cuisine. Every year, Krispy Kreme joins in the celebration with a selection of vibrant Halloween doughnuts. This year, their collection not only adds an element of mystery and monsters but also teams up with a beloved gang of mystery solvers.
Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, the renowned doughnut chain has just announced its first-ever collaboration with Scooby-Doo (and they pulled it off successfully, despite those meddling kids). This collection draws inspiration from the classic cartoon mystery series that first debuted in 1969. It features four limited-edition doughnuts that evoke a sense of nostalgia. These delectable treats are available for individual purchase or by the dozen, packaged in a custom Scooby-Doo “The Case of the Disappearing Doughnuts” box. You can find them in-store or opt for convenient pick-up or delivery. Here are the delightful Scoob’tastic flavors:
- Scooby Dooby-Doo Doughnut: This Original Glazed doughnut is dipped in blue icing and adorned with Scooby-Doo lime green icing swirls, orange cake batter buttercream, and a Scooby-Doo chocolate piece.
- Mystery Machine Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles, decorated with Scooby-Doo lime green icing and a Mystery Machine chocolate piece.
- Spooky Monster Cookies N’ Kreme Doughnut: This doughnut is filled with Oreo Cookies n’ Kreme filling, dipped in Scooby-Doo purple icing, and decorated with Oreo pieces, black chocolate icing, and a Scooby-Doo monster chocolate piece.
- Jinkies! Halloween Orange Sprinkle Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in orange icing and adorned with a spooky Halloween sprinkle blend.
In addition to this Scooby-Doo-themed doughnut lineup, Krispy Kreme offers two other Halloween specials. Firstly, on Friday, October 13, you can visit your local Krispy Kreme and celebrate this extra-spooky date by purchasing a regular-price dozen and getting an Original Glazed dozen for just 13 cents.
Even better, on October 31, if you dress up in costume and visit participating Krispy Kreme shops, you can enjoy a free doughnut of your choice—no tricks, no purchase necessary. It’s a sweet way to embrace the Halloween spirit!
