We’re no stranger to Krispy Kreme’s limited-time doughnut flavors, even releasing holiday-themed or brand-exclusive collaborations. Krispy Kreme doesn’t limit themselves in terms of flavor creativity and goes beyond the box to offer new and delicious doughnut items to their customers.

Customers recognize this commitment and support every new release by increasing orders and even petitioning to return flavors they grew to love.

More often than not, Krispy Kreme listens to fan demands and brings back crowd favorite flavors for a limited time, if not welcoming them as part of the permanent menu. This summer, Krispy Kreme is bringing back its popular Chocolate Glazed Doughnut for a limited time, only for a weekend, to be exact.

Coated with Krispy Kreme’s rich chocolate glaze, this flavor was initially made available in 2017 for the solar eclipse and brought back in 2018 for World Chocolate Day; and this hasn’t been around for six years since. To celebrate World Chocolate Day on July 7, the Chocolate Glazed Doughnut will return for just one weekend, July 6 and July 7. It will be available at all of Krispy Kreme’s official store across the country for both pickup and delivery. Visit their official website for checkout and delivery instructions.

Customers can enjoy the Chocolate Glazed doughnut individually or take advantage of Krispy Kreme’s special offer: buy any dozen doughnuts, including a mix of your favorites, and get a dozen Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts for 50% off. Available at participating Krispy Kreme locations, this may be the perfect addition to your Fourth of July celebration plans.

While celebrity chef David Chang and “Today” show weatherman Al Roker have both expressed their love for Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed Doughnut, but the Chocolate Glazed Doughnut’s return is sure to excite fans who have missed its delicious chocolate-flavored icing for six years. Don’t miss out on enjoying this iconic doughnut flavor, only for this weekend.

Limited Time Krispy Kreme Specials

Time and time again, Krispy Kreme has proven themselves to be the king in releasing exclusive doughnut flavors. From food holidays to major occasions, they have a new flavor lined up to surprise and satisfy fans’ cravings.

Just this year, they are on a roll with their new doughnut releases and brand collaborations. So let’s take a quick trip down doughnut lane and see how Krispy Kreme has delighted us, one new flavor at a time.

Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection with Dolly Parton

Last May 14, Krispy Kreme announced an exclusive collaboration with the iconic Dolly Parton, launching the Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection. The four doughnuts, namely, Chocolate Crème Pie, Banana Puddin’ Pie, Peachy Keen Cobbler, and Dolly Dazzler, were nothing short of a delicious nod to the comfort of Southern desserts. Krispy Kreme perfectly blended Dolly’s Southern roots and the doughnut chain’s dedication to creating memorable flavors for the whole nation to enjoy.

Star Spangled Doughnut Collection

To celebrate Independence Day, Krispy Kreme has launched a new doughnut collection that matches the red, white, and blue theme of the holiday. Presenting the Star Spangled Doughnut Collection, an ideal dessert to sweeten your Fourth of July gatherings and picnics. With four flavors on the roster, namely: Firework Cookies & Kreme Filled, Cotton Candy Sparkler, Freedom Flag, and Chocolate Iced with Patriotic Sprinkles, Krispy Kreme has outdone itself again, and any other doughnut shop for that matter.

Kit Kat Doughnut Collection

First appearing on Krispy Kreme’s menu in April, the Kit Kat Doughnut Collection will return on July 8, 2024. The collection will include the same doughnut roster: KIT KAT Crunch, KIT KAT Cookie Dream Filled, and KIT KAT Salted Caramel Brownie.

From The Club

I love how Krispy Kreme continuously introduces new flavors to celebrate food holidays or major occasions and they also regularly welcome back rare flavors that the fans grew to love. This is evident with how they brought back the Chocolate Glazed Doughnut and the recent Kit Kat Collection, proving that they listen to fans and doughnut lovers alike. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that Krispy Kreme will be available at some grocery stores, too, as we want to have an accessible KK store to get new flavors, fun stuff, and fresh doughnut assortments.

I’m more of an Original Glazed doughnut kind of gal, but the 50% special offer for a dozen Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts is hard to resist. Who knows, I may be going home with two dozen Original Glazed and Chocolate Glazed doughnuts this weekend. I guess I’ll just burn those extra calories and carbs from the doughnut’s delectable chocolate icing the next weekend.
