Krispy Kreme Is Bringing Back a ‘Rare’ Fan-Favorite Doughnut

Nowadays, it seems Krispy Kreme is known for launching new, limited-edition doughnut flavors monthly—like the Fourth of July collection available now—and handing out amazing savings to customers—don’t forget to grab your free doughnut every Tuesday in July!

However, while we can’t resist a Kit Kat-stuffed doughnut or an adorably-decorated Dolly Parton pink doughnut, we can’t forget what put Krispy Kreme on the map: The Original Glazed Doughnut. 

No matter how many specialty doughnuts we eat, we can’t help but go back to the OG every once in a while. And we’re not the only ones—celebrity chef David Chang and “Today” weatherman Al Roker have both shared their love for a classic glazed doughnut in the past. Plus, now that we know the official way to rehat those day-old glazed beauties, our morning coffee and doughnut routine is unstoppable.

The classic glazed doughnut is ever an icon, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten Krispy Kreme’s other glazed offerings—the strawberry- and chocolate-glazed doughnuts.

Last summer, a.k.a. the summer of Barbie, Krispy Kreme brought back the bright pink strawberry-glazed doughnut for a limited time. Now, it’s bringing back the even more rare glazed favorite.

Krispy Kreme Brings Back Chocolate Glazed Doughnut

Krispy Kreme’s Chocolate Glazed Doughnut was originally released in 2017 to celebrate the solar eclipse, then brought back in 2018 as part of World Chocolate Day. It hasn’t really been seen in the six years since—until now.

To celebrate World Chocolate Day, which falls on July 7, the Chocolate Glazed Doughnut will make a brief comeback. The doughnut, which is lightly coated in a rich chocolate glaze, will return for one weekend (July 6 and 7) only. It’s the only time the Chocolate Glazed Doughnut will be on menus in 2024, so if you want to get your chocolate fix for the year, you’ll need to take advantage now. 

The Chocolate Glazed Doughnut will be available at all Krispy Kreme locations nationwide for pickup or delivery. While you can always order a doughnut à la carte, Krispy Kreme is rewarding those who buy a dozen Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts with a 50% off deal. When you buy any dozen doughnuts—including Chocolate Glazed or a mix-and-match of your favorites—you can get a second Chocolate Glazed dozen for half off.

With your calendar booked with Fourth of July celebrations, we think we just found your easy potluck contribution for the weekend.
