Candied Confectionery Donuts

The Reese's Peanut Krispy Kreme Donuts Recreate the Chocolate Bar

— August 30, 2016 — Lifestyle
Krispy Kreme has unveiled a new confectionary donut that is a hybrid of a chocolate bar and a fried pastry inspired by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The donut contains a mix of both desserts mashed up into one with a filled pastry topped with garnishes inspired by the candy bar. The dessert offers a merging of flavor in combination with unexpected textures and taste.

The donut is known as the Krispy Kreme Reese's Peanut Butter and it features a filled centre. Unlike the candy bar that has a solid filling of peanut butter, the donut version is much more smooth, creamy and liquid in texture. Another difference is that the chocolate hardshell cup exterior is replaced with a donut sponge equivalent and topped with chocolate, crushed peanuts and peanut butter chocolate chips.
Trend Themes
1. Candied Confectionery Donuts - Confectionery companies can explore more hybrid pastry and chocolate bar-like confections to offer unique tastes and textures alike.
2. Hybridized Desserts - With hybrid desserts becoming popular, confectionery companies can experiment with other unique combinations to stand out and bring new life to classic flavors.
3. Smooth-filling Desserts - The concept of a smooth, creamy filling in desserts can be used as a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies looking to innovate on classic flavors and textures.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - The confectionery industry can utilize the trend of hybrid pastries to inspire innovation in candy bars and other confections.
2. Bakery - Bakeries can take inspiration from the hybridization of pastries and chocolate bars and create new offerings that merge textures and flavors.
3. Catering - Catering services can explore the use of hybrid desserts as unique and memorable offerings for corporate events, weddings, and other special occasions.
