Krispy Kreme is ushering in spring in a sweet way with the launch of its new Honey Doughnuts.
The brand's first-ever honey donut lineup, the new trio of pastries is cleverly called the 'Oh, Honey! Doughnuts.' The first of the new donuts is the Honey Pull Apart Doughnut, which is a light and fluffy honey doughnut that features pull-apart clusters all topped with a salted honey icing. On the other hand, there's the Honey Bee Doughnut, which is an Original Glazed doughnut that's been dipped in yellow icing and decorated with black buttercream to look like a little honeybee. Lastly, there's the Honey Cake Doughnut, which is a glazed Sour Cream Cake doughnut drizzled with a sweet honey icing and topped with a crunchy oat crisp topping.
