Krispy Kreme introduces two new coffee-flavored doughnuts

Krispy Kreme, the doughnut chain famous for its original glazed doughnut, is introducing two new coffee-flavored varieties to the menu.

A Mocha Kreme doughnut and a Caramel Coffee Kreme doughnut are now available at participating Krispy Kreme locations.

The Mocha Kreme is filled with a chocolate- and coffee-flavored cream and topped with mocha-, milk- and chocolate-flavored icings.

The Caramel Coffee Kreme is a glazed doughnut topped with caramel and coffee-flavored icing, a mocha drizzle and a dollop of what the chain is calling “coffee Kreme.�

“Coffee and doughnuts are natural companions, said Krispy Kreme brand development manager Stephanie Nelson. “The rich lattes and mochas we enjoy every day were the inspiration behind these decadent doughnuts.�

The doughnuts will be available for a limited time through March 30.

The vision of a lighted Krispy Kreme “hot doughnuts now sign� started a frenzy when the North Carolina-based chain first opened in La Habra in 1999. The now-closed location sold 20 million doughnuts and had $9 million in sales in its first year.

Will these two new flavors start their own craze? Let us know your predictions in the comments below.
