Similar to how that Red Light calls people, the first chord of a Dolly Parton song can get everyone clapping. The new Krispy Kreme Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection will have everyone running to their local store faster than they can sing the first chorus to “Here I Come Again.”
Dolly Parton is a legend. While the beloved entertainer owns the stage, she has infused her persona into the food world. From baking some of her favorite recipes to a taste of desserts that she serves at home, people crave any taste of that Southern inspired food.
The new collaboration with Krispy Kreme brings southern flavors to the doughnut case. While the food brand has partnered with cartoons in the past, this foray into the music and pop culture world will have many people excited.
Speaking to this special collaboration, Dolly Parton said, “Having some of my very favorite southern flavors in one, unique doughnut collection from Krispy Kreme is so special to me. 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!”
While the flavors are unique, it is the sentiment behind the collaboration which is special. Life’s simple pleasures can bring happiness; it is a feeling that sometimes can be overlooked.
As Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme said, “Krispy Kreme and Dolly Parton have a special thing in common – we both love to share joy. It was a joy – and an honor – to collaborate with Dolly to create her signature doughnut collection. These doughnuts are going to dazzle and delight fans just like Dolly herself.”
What are the flavors in the Krispy Kreme Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection?
The Krispy Kreme Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection comes in four flavors, Dolly Dazzler Doughnut, Peachy Keen Cobbler Doughnut, Banana Puddin’ Pie, and Chocolate Crème Pie. As the names say, the flavors are a taste of home cooking. The ideas might be simple, but the sentiment behind the classic desserts makes them taste even better.
As many people appreciate, the Banana Puddin’ Pie is a classic dessert. This doughnut stays close to the traditional concept. With wafers and banana pudding KREME, the offering is not too sweet. It might not be the traditional dessert that grandma makes, but it feels like the recipe. It is homey, comforting, and delicious.
The Peachy Keen Cobbler is the most creative offering in the box. Peach filling is not necessarily the most common doughnut flavor. The brown sugar icing is another smart addition. For anyone who would prefer not to bake a dessert for the summer barbecue, these doughnuts would fit the bill.
The Chocolate Crème Pie is the sweetest of the four offerings. Combining the Original Glazed doughnut with the chocolate brownie cream and vanilla whipped topping, it feels even more decadent than the dessert that it references.
Lastly the Dolly Dazzler Doughnut is all about the appearance. From the sprinkles to the signature Dolly Butterfly, it is capturing Dolly’s spirit.
For anyone who wants to celebrate this special Krispy Kreme and Dolly Parton collaboration, anyone can join the Dolly’d Up event on May 18. If a guest comes to a store looking like Dolly or wearing Dolly merch, they can receive a free Original Glazed Doughnut. Or, anyone can break out a rendition of “Jolene” or “I’ll Always Love You” for a free doughnut.
This special Dolly Parton collaboration will be a huge hit. Only time will tell if this offering sparks some future collaborations. What other legends could bring their flavor to the doughnut box?
