Monstrous Halloween Donuts

These Spooky Confections are Decorated with Monster Faces

Krispy Kreme recently unveiled a line of Halloween donuts decorated with ghoulish monster faces. With Halloween only a few weeks away, these festive donuts offer a delightfully delicious alternative to candy bars.

The new specially-decorated donuts are part of the 2015 Halloween menu. Each Monster Donut features a cream-filled shell and a yeast donut base. The outside of each donut is hand-decorated with one of six monster faces. These faces are made from green or purple icing, which is then finished with orange icing eyes. Along with the new Monster Donuts, customers can also sample Krispy Kreme's Pumpkin and Spider Web donuts.

All of the new Halloween-themed donuts can be found at participating Krispy Kreme locations from now until October 31st.
