Just as the name suggests, the new Donut Dots are a pint-sized take on the brand's signature donuts. The new assortment of Donut Dots will join the existing Original Glazed Donut Dots and fill a gap in [Krispy Kreme's current menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-menu). The new assorted Donut Dots come in four tasty new flavors: Powdered, Sprinkled, Cinnamon, Cookie Crumb.
