Sure, we may be in the thick of one of the hottest summers on record, but that doesn’t mean autumn isn’t right around the corner, or at least, that’s what all the food and drink vendors would have you believe. That’s right: even though its early August, it’s the official start of pumpkin spice season.
According to Food & Wine, 7-Eleven was first out of the gate, which debuted its pumpkin spice latte on August 1. But not far behind is Krispy Kreme, and if you’re not quite ready for a cupful of hot espresso and milk just yet, the doughnut chain’s gourd-tastic offerings might sound a bit sweeter, even in the sweltering heat.
Here is the official description of each doughnut, courtesy of Krispy Kreme:
- NEW Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Swirl Doughnut: A Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed doughnut swirled with decadent pumpkin buttercream icing and cream cheese icing, topped with a light dusting of cinnamon sugar.
- NEW Pumpkin Spice Maple Pecan Doughnut: A Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed doughnut hand-dipped in rich maple icing and topped with perfectly crunchy candied pecan pieces.
- Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed Doughnut: A seasonal icon, this Original Glazed doughnut brings just the right amount of pumpkin spice flavor in every melt-in-your-mouth bite.
- Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut: One of our most anticipated seasonal fan-favorites, this glazed, old-fashioned pumpkin spice cake doughnut is the perfect combination of crumbly cake and pumpkin spice flavor.
Krispy Kreme customers can snag the new seasonal treat lineup of four doughnuts (two new and two returning) right now, celebrating all things pumpkin spice.
