Just when you thought Krispy Kreme had released every possible flavor combination, the brand has teamed up with Dr. Pepper on some exclusive new treats, including the Dr. Pepper Kickoff doughnut.
Created specifically for the return of football season, Krispy Kreme's new Dr. Pepper doughnut lineup features three football-themed creations. The first is the Dr. Pepper Kickoff, which consists of an original glazed doughnut topped with Dr. Pepper Creme and finished with Burgundy Sping Blend sprinkles. Next up is the Buttercreme Goals doughnut, which also boasts an original glazed base, but with green icing on top and nonpareil sprinkle candies and yellow buttercream decorated to look like a goalpost. Lastly, there's the Kreme-Filled Football, which is a football-shaped unglazed doughnut filled with white KREME and dipped in a rich chocolate icing.
