To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, Krispy Kreme has created a shamrock-hued pastry that it is calling the O'riginal Glazed Green Donut. With its punny name and bright green glaze, the donut is the perfect way to celebrate the annual Irish holiday.
The O’riginal Glazed Green Donut is a limited-edition donut that will only be available at specific stores on March 17th, 2017. The donut itself is the same the brand's Original Glazed donut, except the signature white icing has been swapped for a much more vibrant shade of green. The new donut also marks the first time in the brand's history that it has changed the name of its iconic donut.
For those looking for an excuse to indulge in something sweet, these festive St. Patricks Day donuts are a great option.
