To celebrate the landing of NASA's Perseverance Rover on Mars, Krispy Kreme created The Mars Donut as a limited-edition treat. The donut is as red as the red planet and it takes the form of a caramel-iced, chocolate Kreme-filled doughnut with a "red planet swirl" that's topped off with chocolate cookie crumbs.
Fortunately for the millions of people who participated in NASA's Send Your Name to Mars program, Krispy Kreme is giving them the chance to claim their free Mars Donut on February 18th, the date Perseverance is scheduled to make contact with Mars' Jezero Crater. The extremely limited-edition donut will only be sticking around for a day, making it an even sweeter treat for fans of space exploration.
