Dolly Parton and Krispy Kreme have teamed up to create a Southern-Inspired Doughnut Collection.
The popular doughnut chain and the country legend announced their sweet collaboration today: “Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection,” a delectable and deep-fried quartet of doughnuts.
Each of the four flavors was designed with the 10-time Grammy Award winner and her Southern cooking Diva touch.
For a limited time starting today, fans can enjoy the collection at participating Krispy Kreme shops. Orders will come in a limited-edition “Dolly Parton dozens” box.
The four flavors include:
- Dolly Dazzler Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in strawberry icing with gold, pink and white glitter sprinkles. Topped with a signature chocolate Dolly butterfly.
- Peachy Keen Cobbler Doughnut: An Unglazed doughnut filled with real peach filling, dipped in brown sugar icing with a crunchy cobbler topping.
- Banana Puddin’ Pie: Unglazed, this doughnut is filled with banana pudding from wafers and banana pudding cream. Dipped in yellow icing and topped with white icing swirls and a wafer cookie.
- Chocolate Crème Pie: An Original Glazed doughnut topped with a swirl of chocolate brownie cream and vanilla whipped topping with sprinkle of chocolate cookie crumble.
You can also purchase six-packs featuring the Dolly Dazzler Doughnut, Banana Puddin’ Pie and Chocolate Crème Pie Doughnut at select grocers — find out if your store is a carrier via the chain’s location finder.
“Having some of my very favorite southern flavors in one, unique doughnut collection from Krispy Kreme is so special to me,” Parton said in a press release. “These doughnuts remind me of home. So, I’m excited for folks to share them with their own family and friends. They’re pretty sweet, if I do say so myself!”
David Skena, Krispy Kreme’s chief brand officer, said the doughnut brand and Parton are both synonymous with joy, which is the key to their partnership.
“It was a joy — and an honor — to collaborate with Dolly to create her signature doughnut collection,” Skena said in the release. “These doughnuts are going to dazzle and delight fans just like Dolly herself.”
Additionally, the brand is celebrating this partnership by inviting fans of the singer to get all “Dolly’d Up.”
Anyone who visits Krispy Kreme shops on Saturday, May 18 dressed in Parton-themed attire will receive a free Original Glazed doughnut. But if singing is your thing, you'll score a free donut for belting your favorite Parton song in-store.
