Trainers, there are some new treats to catch. In honor of 30 year of The Pokémon Company, those iconic characters jump off the screen and onto the plate. The Krispy Kreme Pokemon Doughnut Collection is playful and sweet. How many will you catch before they disappear?
Time and again, Krispy Kreme finds a way to celebrate pop culture. It is more than ensuring a favorite flavor is part of a seasonal menu drop.
The doughnut brand has collaborated with Scooby-Doo, Dolly Parton, and a variety of pop culture icons. Not only do these special launches excite fans of the Original Glaze, they bring others to the Red Light for the collaborative treats.
The Pokémon Doughnut Collection features five characters inspired doughnuts and a Poke Ball Doughnut. Guests can order all Poke Balls or mix and match characters doughnuts.
Speaking about the special, limited-time offering, Alison Holder, Chief Brand and Product Officer at Krispy Kreme said, “We had so much fun bringing the world of Pokémon to life through doughnuts in a way only Krispy Kreme can. From Pokémon-inspired creations and playful flavors to themed cups, special packaging and fan surprises, this collection is made to be caught and shared as we celebrate 30 incredible years of Pokémon.”
What Are the Characters Represented in the Pokémon Doughnut Collection?
In addition to a Poké Ball doughnut, the Pokemon Doughnut Collection features five character inspired doughnuts. They are Bulbasaur Doughnut, Charmander Doughnut, Squirtle Doughnut, Pikachu Doughnut, and Jigglypuff Doughnut.
The Pikachu Doughnut might be the instantly recognizable character to those less familiar with Pokemon. Lemon Kreme fills the unglazed shell. The flavor is bright and refreshing. Most importantly, it has a bold visual. The signature lightning bolt pops.
The most interesting doughnut is the Charmander Doughnut. The chocolate and toasted marshmallow filling is a home run. It is rich yet sweet. The caramel icing adds just the right amount of sweetness. It proves that chocolate, marshmallow, and caramel are a winning combination.
The sweetness doughnut is definitely the Squirtle Doughnut. The cotton candy flavored buttercreme is a sugar bomb, but it is not cloying. When paired with a glass of milk, it is the indulgence that delights with a sense of whimsy.
Overall, everyone will want to catch them all and catch their favorite flavor again. It is the doughnut collection that will keep people coming back for more.
The Krispy Kreme Pokémon Doughnut Collection drops on August 18 for a limited time. Check with local stores for availability and pricing.
