A little Krispy Kreme History

Before we get into the delicious details, let’s have a quick history lesson. Krispy Kreme is an American doughnut and coffee chain founded by Vernon Rudolph, who, in 1937, bought a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans chef. He set up shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and began selling his doughnuts to local grocery stores. The story goes that the irresistible scent of frying doughnuts wafted into the streets, luring passers-by who begged to buy them hot and fresh. Vernon, being the savvy bloke he was, cut a hole in the wall and started selling directly to the public. Cleverer still. Fast forward to today, Krispy Kreme is a global sensation, beloved by millions, including yours truly.

Original Glazed, the timeless classic.

Let’s kick things off with the Original Glazed doughnut. This is where it all began – the definition of timeless. Simple yet satisfying. Light and fluffy, topped with the classic glaze and the perfect touch of sweetness—this timeless treat never goes out of style.

Biscoff Kreme: A Biscuit Lover’s Dream.

Next up, we’ve got the Biscoff Kreme. If you’re a fan of those delightful little caramelised biscuits, you’re in for a treat. This doughnut is filled with luscious Biscoff kreme, hand-dipped in Biscoff spread, and topped with Biscoff biscuit crumbs and white chocolate shavings. It’s an explosion of flavours and textures that make each bite pure bliss. The velvety Kreme and the crisp crumbs complement each other perfectly, creating an irresistible sweet indulgence. It tastes even better when you know that between Sunday and Thursday you’ll get 25% off each and every doughy delicacy.

Hazlenut Heaven.

For those who crave a bit of nutty goodness, the Hazelnut Heaven doughnut is a must-try. Imagine a doughnut filled with rich hazelnut spread, hand-dipped in a chocolate-flavoured coating and crowned with caramelised hazelnuts. It’s rich, it’s decadent, and it’s absolutely irresistible. The combination of chocolate and hazelnut is a match made in heaven, and this doughnut nails it perfectly.

Chocolate Custard, a classic with a twist.

If you’re into classic flavours with a bit of a twist, you’ll love the Chocolate Custard doughnut. This beauty is filled with smooth vanilla custard and hand-dipped in chocolate icing. It’s a delightful blend of creamy and chocolatey, creating a harmonious flavour profile that’s hard to beat.
