If you haven’t had a chance to sample Krispy Kreme’s beloved Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut, now may be the time to visit your local shop for some fall-infused flavors. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based doughnut chain is long lauded for its clever takes on holiday and seasonal sweets, but the company’s newest Golden Harvest Collection, in a word, shines.
Just in time for the official ushering of fall with the autumnal equinox on September 22, Krispy Kreme’s latest pastry collection features three brand-new doughnut flavors that join a returning fan-favorite for a little sugar, spice, and everything nice. For one, the roster plays up beloved flavors that are often associated with the changing seasons, like maple and apple. And one unexpected twist on a nostalgic favorite joins the bunch, alongside—who can resist—Salted Caramel Caramel Cheesecake. Count us in!
The Golden Harvest Collection includes:
- Maple Buttercreme Doughnut (new): an Original Glazed doughnut topped with maple flavored buttercreme and fall sprinkles
- Oatmeal Kreme Pie Doughnut (new): an unglazed doughnut with white Kreme filling dipped in cookie dough icing and streusel topping with a dollop of white Kreme and a bite-sized oatmeal cookie
- Salted Caramel Cheesecake Doughnut (new): an Original Glazed doughnut topped with a swirl of cream cheese buttercreme and dulce de leche flavored filling, sprinkled with salted caramel flavored crunch
- Spiced Apple Filled Doughnut (returning): a cinnamon-sugar doughnut filled with spiced apple filling
“A slight chill in the morning air, a hint of color in the leaves, and just like that we’re ready for some delicious fall flavors,” said Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme. “Our Golden Harvest collection is autumn bliss, so savor them while they last.”
This oh-so-sweet doughnut collection is now available at participating Krispy Kreme locations for a limited time, so get ‘em before they’re gone by ordering in-store, online, or through Krispy Kreme’s mobile app. Select retailers will also carry six-packs of the Golden Harvest Collection delivered fresh daily.
The new doughnuts pair nicely with the Southern chain’s signature Pumpkin Spice Latte (available hot, iced, or frozen) in case you’re really hoping to round out your autumnal adventure. And after your taste-test, we’ve got a whole host of spectacular seasonal baking recipes to keep the fall fun flowing.
