Krispy Kreme launches unexpected Pumpkin Spice product

KRISPY Kreme has introduced a unique item to its pumpkin spice collection.

The iconic doughnut shop launched its fall-inspired line of coffees and doughnuts the first week of August, ahead of Dunkin' and Starbucks.

Now, it has added a new item to the collection — Pup'kin Spice Doggie Doughnuts.

These handmade doughnut-shaped dog biscuits will be offered in stores to celebrate National Dog Day.

The flavors reflect the doughnuts that are in stores for customers to enjoy; Pup'kin Spice Original Glazed, Pup'kin Spice Cake, Pup'kin Spice Maple Peanut, and Pup'kin Spice Cheesecake Swirl.

Australian-based artisan-baked pet treat company Huds and Toke designed the treat for Krispy Kreme.

Owners can pick up a box of six doughnuts in Krispy Kreme stores and drive-thrus through August 31, or while supplies last, according to the website.

They can also pick up some limited-edition white or green patterned pet bandanas, sporting patterns of dogs, bones, and doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme's regular fall doughnuts feature two returning items and two new ones.

Back for another year is the Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut, and the Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut.

Making its menu debut is the Pumpkin Spice Maple Pecan Doughnut and the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Swirl Doughnut.

The Maple Pecan Doughnut has maple icing topped with crunchy candied pecan pieces.

The Cheesecake Swirl features pumpkin buttercream icing and cream cheese icing, topped with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar.

Coffee lovers can choose from the pumpkin spice latte (PSL) served hot, iced or frozen, or the pumpkin spice coffee served hot or iced.

“Year after year, we fall in love all over again with pumpkin spice-flavored treats, and this year pumpkin spice lovers will fall the hardest at Krispy Kreme,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme global chief brand officer, in a press release.

“Combining two new pumpkin spice donuts with two fan favorites — we’re saying to the spice AND our fans, ‘P.S., we love you’!”

Starbucks is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its famous PSL.
