Krispy Kreme Has Teamed Up with Hershey's to Create the Ultimate Chocolate Doughnuts of Your Dreams

Doughnut chain Krispy Kreme has had sweet-toothed Kiwi in a chokehold since it first launched in South Auckland back in 2017. Since then it's opened three new outposts in Newmarket, Chancery Square and New Lynn, as well as setting up shop in BP petrol stations around the country.

While you might be a purist who swears by the original glazed 'nut, various themed-versions have also caused a ruckus upon launch — who can forget trying to catch all of the Pokemon-themed doughnuts late last year? And of course, we sadly never got our laughing gear around the Caramilk doughnuts that took Australia by storm.

But now the doughnut chain has teamed up with fellow iconic US-brand Hershey's, whipping up two brand-new American-inspired sweet treats you might be tempted to travel to New York for. Don't worry — you actually only need to travel to New Lynn (or one of the other two stores, of course).

The first on the lineup of Hersheys' Krispy Kreme deliciousness available in Aotearoa is the 'Choc Strawberry' doughnut, filled with a special Hershey's choc crème and dipped in strawberry truffle, before being topped with chocolate chips and icing. Or if you're a die-hard chocoholic, you'll probably go for the 'Ultimate Choc': again filled with the choc crème, this doughnut is then dipped in milk chocolate ganache, before it's finished off with chocolate chips and ganache drizzle.

Yeah, we'll take one of each, thanks.

But be quick: launching on Tuesday, February 21 and retailing for $3.90 each, these special edition doughnuts are only available for a limited time, so you'll want to hustle. And you won't want to tell your personal trainer.
