Coffee and doughnuts are a perfect pair, and [Krispy Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-glazed-mini) has introduced two new flavors that will entice any caffeine addict. The two new flavors are based off classic coffee combinations. Until March 30th, you are able to indulge in Krispy Kreme's 'Lotta Latte' sweets featuring Mocha Kreme and Caramel Coffee Kreme.

The [Mocha Kreme doughnut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-chocomania-collection) is filled with chocolate and coffee flavors and topped with mocha and milk chocolate icing. The Caramel Coffee Kreme is a classic glazed doughnut that has caramel and coffee icing with a tiny bit of mocha flavoring. I must say that the Mocha Kreme sounds absolutely delicious, and I may have to make my way to a Krispy Kreme sometime before March 30th to try this one. These two flavors are going to be a match made in heaven alongside a cup of coffee.
