Legendary country music icon Dolly Parton has teamed up with Krispy Kreme to bring a taste of the South to doughnut lovers everywhere. Dubbed the Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection, this unique collaboration features four delightful new doughnut flavors inspired by the singer's favorite Southern desserts.
Fox Business noted that the collection, available for a limited time, kicked off in participating Krispy Kreme stores this Tuesday, adding a touch of country charm to their famed lineup of treats.
A Quartet of Southern Delights
The collection boasts an array of expertly crafted doughnuts that are as visually appealing as they are delicious. Each one is a nod to Parton's Southern roots, combining classic flavors and contemporary twists. The lineup includes:
-
Dolly Dazzler Doughnut: A strawberry-iced Original Glazed® Doughnut adorned with glitter sprinkles and a chocolate butterfly.
-
Peachy Keen Cobbler Doughnut: Brimming with peach filling, this doughnut is finished with brown sugar icing and a crunchy cobbler topping.
-
Banana Puddin' Pie: This treat features a banana pudding and KREME filling, dipped in yellow icing, and garnished with a wafer cookie.
-
Chocolate Crème Pie: A decadent blend of chocolate brownie cream atop an Original Glazed® doughnut, completed with vanilla whipped topping and chocolate cookie crumb.
Celebrate With Dolly
Krispy Kreme is running special promotions to mark the occasion, including offering free original glazed doughnuts to customers who show their Dolly spirit.
Wear Dolly apparel or sing one of her hits at a store on May 18 to enjoy a doughnut on the house. Each themed dozen box in the collection will feature two of each new flavor and four original glazed doughnuts to round out the dozen, ensuring there's something for everyone.
From Country Music to Confectioneries
People noted that this chis collaboration highlights Dolly Parton's continued foray into various business ventures, extending her influence beyond the music industry. With a track record of successful partnerships, from Duncan Hines to Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, Parton adds a sweet note to her entrepreneurial portfolio with Krispy Kreme.
Fans of the country star and doughnut aficionados alike will enjoy sharing these treats, embodying the warmth and generosity synonymous with Parton's legacy.
