As if we didn’t already have enough reason to visit Krispy Kreme every chance possible, it seems the coffee and doughnut giant is adding more irresistible items to the menu. We know and love the one-stop-morning-shop for their classic glazed rounds, and even more for their creative new additions over the years like kreme-filled, lemon, blueberry and strawberry. (Did you get a chance to try their pumpkin spice collection while it was around? We sure hope so!)
Next on the agenda is a flavor favorite that’s sure to please: two brand-spankin’-new Krispy Kreme caramel doughnuts! Your morning just got a whole lot sweeter.
Did Somebody Say Doughnuts?
Fall’s best baked goods are made so much better with a little caramel. That is, if you do it right—and Krispy Kreme has definitely done it right. The two latest Krispy Kreme creations both showcase our beloved caramel in two very different, but very delectable, ways. The appropriately dubbed Classic Caramel Doughnut is an Original Glazed Doughnut covered in a waterfall of rich caramel glaze. As you can imagine, it’s just as incredibly delicious as their namesake doughnut, but with a little caramelized kick. (Just watch that drizzle in action!)
As for the Salted Caramel Double Crunch Doughnut—the one I’m most excited for—you can expect a lot of sweetness mixed with a bit of saltiness. It’s essentially the Classic Caramel Doughnut dipped in caramel icing and sprinkled with an irresistibly salty crunch topping. Salt always seems to bring out the flavor of caramel even more, don’t you think?
When Will These Doughnuts Be Available?
The doughnuts were launched on November 9, 2020, so you can find these caramel gems at participating Krispy Kreme locations right now. But only for a limited time! The Classic Caramel Doughnut and the Salted Caramel Double Crunch Doughnut are disappearing for good on November 22, 2020.
There’s no time to waste like the present to get your fill of Krispy Kreme. Just listen to the words from Dave Skena, the Chief Marketing Officer, himself: “It’s incredibly delicious and you’re going to need to take a moment for yourself and just be one with caramel awesomeness. It’s been a year, to say the least. You’ve earned it.”
Apple Cider Doughnuts
Apple donuts remind me of family trips to South Dakota. We’d stop at Wall Drug for a dozen or so before camping in the Badlands. Maple glaze was and still is my favorite. Share a batch with friends and family who appreciate a hot, fresh apple cider donut. —Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Banana Beignet Bites
When I was a little girl, my grandmother took me aside one day and taught me how to make her famous banana beignets. Although we made them during the holidays, they're pretty fantastic any time of the year. —Amy Downing, South Riding, Virginia

There's no need to run to the bakery for delicious jelly doughnuts! These sweet treats are lighter than air. I've been fixing them for 25 years for my husband, our two daughters and their families. They disappear almost as fast as I make them. —Kathy Westendorf, Westgate, Iowa
Almond Bear Claws
This bear claw pastry recipe is absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious! It's impossible to resist the delicate dough, rich almond filling and pretty fanned tops sprinkled with sugar and almonds. I made yummy treats like this when I worked in a bakery years ago. —Aneta Kish, La Crosse, Wisconsin

While these delicious bite-size treats are ready in minutes, they’ll disappear in a flash.
