Krispy Kreme To Release Cotton Candy And Caramel Apple Fair-Inspired Donuts | HuffPost Life

Krispy Kreme's New Cotton Candy And Caramel Apple Donuts

You know the feeling: you're eating your Krispy Kreme donut and you think to yourself, "Needs more sugar."

To counteract your potentially low blood sugar levels, Krispy Kreme is releasing two new donuts, just in time for State Fair season: Cotton Candy and the Caramel Apple Cake Donut. The Cotton Candy donut is an original Krispy Kreme glazed donut, dipped in cotton candy sugar and the Caramel Apple Cake donut is an apple donut drizzled with caramel icing.

Just in case you need something complementary to wash the new donuts down, Krispy Kreme is pairing their new donuts with two similarly-flavored beverages -- the Frozen Cotton Candy Chiller and the Caramel Latte, which can be served hot or on ice.

According to QSR Magazine, these new treats will be available from August 20th – September 30th at participating Krispy Kreme locations in the U.S. and Canada. Brand Eating notes that some participating grocery and convenience stores will also make the Caramel Apple Cake Donut available.

Wild Dunkin' Donuts Flavors

Wasabi-Cheese and Seaweed-Cheese(01 of06)

Where to get them: SingaporeWhat it is: No official word on what exactly these creations are, but we imagine they're pretty self-explanatory. Wasabi paste or dried seaweed and cheese on a doughnut? Hmm...We imagine: Philadelphia sushi rolls (with cream cheese) are relatively popular in America, although not very traditional. Perhaps that’s the appeal?

"Shake Shake" Munchkins(02 of06)

Where to get them: ChinaWhat it is: Basically, Dunkin’ has taken doughnut holes and treated them like savory beignets. They come in flavors like "spicy, roast, and pizza," and are supposedly a "sweet/savory treat."We imagine: Doughnut chips. Slideshow: Best Small Towns for FoodPhoto Credit: © Dunkin' Donuts

Kolache(03 of06)

Where to get them: TexasWhat it is: Obviously this doughnut isn’t technically from abroad, but we figured we might as well toss in one strange, regional menu item. In Texas, Dunkin’ Donuts serves kolaches, a treat often found in Czech bakeries. A typical kolache is a soft, sweet, yeasty roll filled with apricots, prunes, cheese, poppy seeds, or sausage. The Dunkin’ version uses a cheesy smoked sausage link, which may not be weird, but doesn’t usually come in a doughnut. Fill it with apricots and we’ve got another story.We imagine: A slightly sweet hot dog wrapped in a super soft bun. Slideshow: 15 Hot Dogs from Around the WorldPhoto Credit: © Dunkin' Donuts

Kai Young(04 of06)

Where to get them: ThailandWhat it is: Apparently, this flavor is very popular in Asia, although it doesn’t sound all that great. Dunkin’ takes a traditional glazed doughnut, adds dried, shredded chicken, and tops it off with Thai chile paste.We imagine: A weirdly sugary taco. Just add Sriracha.

Mochi Ring Doughnuts(05 of06)

Where to get them: China, Korea, Thailand, JapanWhat it is: Mochi, or glutinous rice, is actually delicious and deserves more credit than its name implies. Plus, the doughnuts tear apart in adorable rounds and come in flavors like green tea, chocolate, banana, and mango.We imagine: All the goodness of mochi combined with the frosting of a doughnut. Just add ice cream. Slideshow: 9 Most inspiring Travel MoviesPhoto Credit: © Dunkin' Donuts

Fruity Paradise(06 of06)

Where to get them: ThailandWhat it is: Pitched as "paradise in a doughnut," this fruity creation is a glazed doughnut with toasted almonds, whipped cream, cherries, kiwi, and pineapple.We imagine: A cross between a piña colada and a cupcake.
