FAST FOOD NEWS: Krispy Kreme Monster Doughnuts

Marvo 2 Comments

Krispy Kreme Monster Donuts

Krispy Kreme has new Monster Doughnuts that are neither large nor scary.

They have a Kreme-filled shell dipped in either electric purple or ghoulish green icing and are hand-decorated with white icing and sugar eyes in six monster faces. One of those faces looks like Charlie Brown tweaking out and another looks like it doesn’t care at all about oral hygiene.

They’re available until October 31 at participating Krispy Kreme locations.

The Purple Monster Doughnut with two large eyes has 400 calories, 20 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 160 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 30 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

These are just cakes with rainbow sprinkles. I was hoping they would be birthday cake-flavored cake. That would’ve been weird. (Spotted by RaveGyrl at Jewel Osco.)
