While most people associate Easter with chocolate eggs, [Krispy Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-spring-minis-donuts) is offering a new form of indulgence with its limited-edition Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg donut. Perfect for kids and adults alike, this nutty pastry is a delicious way to celebrate the Easter holiday.

Set to hit stores on March 19th, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg donut is a limited-edition treat available just for Easter. The donut itself boasts an unglazed shell that is dipped in chocolate icing and filled with a blend of peanut butter 'Kreme.' To complete the Easter egg aesthetic, the donut is decorated with blue and yellow frosting and a sprinkling of crushed peanuts. The result is a chocolaty peanut butter treat with a festive twist.

By collaborating with Reese’s, Krispy Kreme demonstrates the many opportunities for co-branding during the Easter season.
