Krispy Kreme and Pop-Tarts launch a special range of pastry flavors and it is dubbed the Crazy Good Doughnuts collection. The limited capsule brings forth iconic flavors from the breakfast pastry strudel. The collaboration is comprised of three unique creations starting with the Frosted Strawberry Doughnut. It has an unglazed shell doughnut and it is filled with strawberry filling before dipped in a shortbread icing.
It is complete with shortbread crumbs, a drizzle of strawberry filling, and sugar sprinkles. Finally, it is topped with a piece of the Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tart bite. The Chocolatey Fude Doughnut follows with chocolate icing and brownie batter buttercream and bite bits on top with white nonpareils. The final flavor is Brown Sugar Cinnamom with cinnamon sugar coating, cream cheese buttercream in the same flavor and pieces on top.
