An entire lineup of donut holes are officially joining the Krispy Kreme menu and the brand has given them the adorable name 'Donut Dots.'
Just as the name suggests, the new Donut Dots are a pint-sized take on the brand's signature donuts. The new assortment of Donut Dots will join the existing Original Glazed Donut Dots and fill a gap in Krispy Kreme's current menu. The new assorted Donut Dots come in four tasty new flavors: Powdered, Sprinkled, Cinnamon, Cookie Crumb. Aside from the Sprinkled variety, Krispy Kreme actually doesn't offer full-sized versions of these Donut Dots so you can expect to find new and exciting flavors from each.
Krispy Kreme's new assorted Donut Dots are available in a 10‑count cup or a 24-count box.
