Krispy Kreme's New Caramel Donuts Have Everyone Talking

Renowned donut maker Krispy Kreme has been ruling the donut business since its beginning in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1937. According to Krispy Kreme's official website, the brand was founded by entrepreneur Vernon Rudolph, who got his hands on a secret donut recipe and started selling Krispy Kreme donuts to grocery stores around him. His offerings became incredibly popular over the years and earned a loyal fan following.

The brand has since expanded and now has more than 1,000 outlets across the globe in countries such as Bahrain, Canada, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the UK, and the United Arab Emirates (via Mental Floss). 

Some of the most popular Krispy Kreme donuts include Glazed Raspberry, Cake Batter, Chocolate Iced Glazed, Glazed Chocolate Cake, and Original Glazed (via Delish). And now it has come up with two new variants for caramel lovers. Here are all the details you need to know.

The brand has now come up with two new options, a classic glazed donut with caramel and a salted caramel donut, for dessert lovers. According to Business Wire, the two donuts are available now for a limited time period at certain Krispy Kreme outlets. The two new options are the latest among other flavor experiments such as chocolate, coffee, lemon, blueberry, and strawberry that Krispy Kreme has released over the years.

"There are a lot of caramel lovers out there and if you're one of them, this doughnut is going to blow your mind," Dave Skena, chief marketing officer of Krispy Kreme, said in a statement. "It's incredibly delicious and you're going to need to take a moment for yourself and just be one with caramel awesomeness. It's been a year, to say the least. You've earned it." Tempted to try the new flavors yet?
