Krispy Kreme and Dr Pepper team up for new fall doughnut — but it won’t stick around

Krispy Kreme is kicking off football season with a new soft drink-inspired doughnut.

The coffee and doughnut chain teamed up with Dr Pepper to launch the Krispy Kreme x Dr Pepper Kickoff Collection, available nationwide Aug. 23, according to a news release.

The collection includes three doughnuts, including a new creation topped with a frosting featuring the “iconic 23 original flavors of Dr Pepper,” a product description says.

The doughnut is finished with burgundy sprinkles and a white chocolate Dr Pepper logo.

Other football-inspired treats in the lineup include:

• Buttercreme goals doughnut featuring an original glazed doughnut dipped in green icing and topped with sprinkles and a buttercreme goal post.

• KREME™ filled football doughnut featuring an unglazed doughnut filled with Kreme and dipped in chocolate icing.

Customers can order the new Kickoff Collection in-store and online for delivery and pickup orders, Krispy Kreme said.
