- Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie – A classic cookie that is thick, soft, and encrusted with milk chocolate chips.
- Tres Leches Cake – Missed the Tres Leches Cake? Don’t worry, you’ll get them again this week. This light and fluffy cake features a vanilla flavor with tres leches sauce. The cake is topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with a layer of cinnamon. The great news is that they’re available all month long!
- Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake ft. Nutella – This new treat features a chocolate and hazelnut cheesecake that is placed on top of a cookies and cream crust. To finish off, it’s crowned with smooth Nutella and fluffy whipped cream.
- Confetti Milkshake Cookie – A confetti sugar cookie base that is decorated with rainbow candy sprinkles. The cookie is then topped with cake-flavored buttercream and a whipped cream dollop.
- Buckeye Brownie Cookie – Craving for a brownie? Then get a cookie brownie instead! This choco treat features layers of chocolate brownie, peanut butter, and melted semi-sweet chocolate that is smothered on the top part.
- Strawberry Cake Cookie – A base of strawberry and vanilla cookie swirled with a fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting. The top is sprinkled with white chocolate curls for an extra sweet and crunchy bite.

Krispy Kreme
Ready, players? Get ready to keep your crane on, Krispy Kreme just announced their a-maze-ing new collaboration with Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., for PAC-MAN’s 45th anniversary! Celebrating the global icon, Krispy Kreme created a special doughnut collection that is inspired by the classic game. Chomp on these sweet treats before it’s game over for you.
Starting today, the Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection will be available at participating locations nationwide. The collection will unveil a nostalgic custom PAC-MAN game in a dozen boxes, such as:
- PAC-MAN Party Doughnut – An Original Glazed Doughnut base with yellow buttercreme flavored icing. It is sprinkled with celebration sprinkles and topped with a PAC-MAN piece.
- TEAM GHOST Doughnut – Features an unglazed shell doughnut that is filled with chocolate-flavored KREME. The doughnut is dipped in black icing and decorated with a PAC-MAN maze and a Team Ghost piece.
- Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut – Features an unglazed shell doughnut that is filled with strawberry flavored Kreme. To decorate, this doughnut is dipped in red icing and topped with white sprinkles plus a green leaf icing.
And since PAC-MAN is celebrating its 45th anniversary, more surprises await fans. Don’t miss out on the following Krispy Kreme offerings:
- First, they aim to give guests 45,000 free Original Glazed Doughnuts between May 12 through 18 during the Hot Light hours (7 to 9 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., or until the Hot Light is shining). Note that there’s a limit of one guest per day via drive-thru. And since PAC-MAN loves fruits, if fans help achieve the “high score,” then Krispy Kreme will return their popular Strawberry Glazed Doughnut, which the brand offered last August 2023.
- From May 12 through 14, Krispy Kreme will be transforming its Doughnut Dots into “PAC-DOTS.” With this, they will be surprising guests with a free 10-count of Dots with a purchase of any dozen doughnuts at a regular price.
- On PAC-MAN Day (May 22), which is the character’s original birthday, Krispy Kreme will be selling a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for 25 cents! All you need to do is purchase any dozen at a regular price on the day itself.
The Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection is available in-shop or for pickup and delivery via Krispy Kreme’s app and website. You can choose to get them individually or by the dozen. You can also enjoy your PAC-MAN doughnuts with a Krispy Kreme 6-pack delivered fresh daily in select retailers.
