Independence Day is getting a little sweeter this year with a new collection of treats from Krispy Kreme. The North Carolina-based doughnut shop icon announced its “Star-Spangled Sweetness Collection” this weekend.
In a press release, the company said this collection will include both new and fan-favorite flavors, so there’s something for everyone when you show up with its custom red, white and blue box to summer celebrations. Customers can get a taste of the special package now, but it will only be available for a limited time.
Inside the box, you’ll find: new unglazed “Firework Cookies & Kreme Filled Doughnuts” that are hand-dipped in red icing and decorated with a blue icing swirl as well as a rocket candy piece; new original glazed “Cotton Candy Sparkler Doughnuts” that are hand-dipped in blue icing and cotton candy sugar before they’re decorated with white and red buttercreme dollops, and the original glazed “Freedom Flag Doughnut” that is hand-dipped in white icing and then decorated with patriotic red icing stripes and blue and gold sprinkles.
“From backyard barbeques with family, friends and neighbors to lined sidewalks at neighborhood parades, our Star-Spangled Sweetness doughnuts make celebrating our Independence Day sweeter than ever,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme.
These special July 4 treats are available at select Krispy Kreme shops, and the Spangled Sweetness doughnuts are also sold in specialty 6-count box delivered fresh daily to select retailers. Fans can check out this page to find a participating shop in their area.
“To sweeten parades and other celebrations, on July 4 guests who wear red, white and blue to participating Krispy Kreme shops can enjoy a FREE Original Glazed doughnut,” said Krispy Kreme. Those who try out the new offerings are encouraged to share their experience on social media with the #KrispyKreme hashtag and by tagging @krispykreme.
Earlier this year, Audacy also reported on a new partnership between Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s that brings the beloved doughnuts to more customers.
