Krispy Kreme Just Dropped a NEW Glazed Donut That's Breaking the Internet - Here are 5 Things You Need to Know
- The chain has launched a limited-edition 'Krispy Kreme Glazed Gummy' donut, featuring a sour gummy worm baked into the classic Original Glazed, creating a sweet-and-tangy texture bomb that fans are calling "weirdly addictive" on social media.
- This unexpected flavor mashup is part of a 'Twisted Treats' collection, which also includes a s'mores donut with toasted marshmallow and a cereal milk drizzle—aimed at capturing viral buzz among Gen Z and millennial snackers.
- Rumors are swirling that the Krispy Kreme Glazed Gummy is a test run for a permanent "DIY Donut Bar" later this year, where customers can choose custom mix-ins like candy, sprinkles, or even hot sauce toppings.
- Early taste-testers report the gummy stays chewy even after baking, thanks to a new heat-stable gelatin recipe that prevents melting—a technical breakthrough some food blogs are calling "donut science wizardry."
- The donut is available exclusively through the Krispy Kreme app for the next 48 hours, driving a 30% spike in app downloads overnight and sparking a secondary market on eBay where resellers are asking $20 per donut.
