Officially available starting on Tuesday, June 23rd, the new Fourth of July Collection will include two brand-new doughnuts, along with two returning fan favorites. The first of the new doughnuts is the USA Doughnut, which is an unglazed shell doughnut stuffed with a rich Cookies n’ Kreme filling, dipped in red icing, and finished with patriotic stars and a USA sugar piece. The other new treat is the Firework Doughnut, which consists of an Original Glazed doughnut dipped in a sweet vanilla-flavored icing, and decorated with gold glitter and a firecracker sugar piece. As for the returning doughnuts, expect to find the Freedom Ring Doughnut and Chocolate Iced with Patriotic Sprinkles.
Best of all, the new Fourth of July Collection comes in a colorful, party-ready 'Bring Fourth the Fun' dozen box.
