The Klondike Donuts are available in a trio of flavors, including Boston Cream, Frosted Strawberry and [Triple Chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-chocomania-collection), which includes a chocolate cake fried donut-flavored ice cream with a dark chocolate coating, dark crunchy pieces and a drizzle of milk chocolate to top it all off. The decadent frozen treats contain 210 to 210 calories and Klondike shares six dipped ice cream bars per each Klondike Donuts package.
