Krispy Kreme teams up with Barbie to create new donuts

Krispy Kreme teams up with Barbie to create new donuts

As the saying goes, the devil works hard, but Krispy Kreme works even harder (or at least, we think it’s something like that).

On Tuesday, the doughnut shop announced that it’s entering into another awesome partnership, which means we’ll all be getting more limited-time treats.

This time, Krispy Kreme is making an “iconic flavor statement” alongside Barbie to celebrate the toy brand’s 65th anniversary. The statement includes four all-new doughnuts in unique flavors and designs for a total sensory experience.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Barbie brand with a fun and flavorful collaboration,” said Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme Global Brand Director, in making the announcement. “We’re bringing Barbie’s iconic fashions to life through delicious doughnuts that are sure to delight Barbie and Krispy Kreme fans alike.”

Starting today, doughnut and toy fans can get their hands on the new flavors at participating Krispy Kreme stores. Here’s what you can expect from each flavor.

Barbie’s Pink Donut

According to Krispy Kreme, the cake is “inspired by Barbie’s signature pink and pop.” It’s made with a funky frosting base and topped with pink buttercream before being garnished with pink glitter sugar and a pair of edible Barbie sunglasses.

Malibu Dream Party Donut

This one, Krispy Kreme said, is “inspired by the fun and fashion of the Barbie DreamHouse,” and once again comes with that unfrosted shell-shaped doughnut, but this time it’s filled with Cake Batter Kreme, dipped in Malibu blue frosting and glittery graham sand, and topped with a Barbie DreamHouse piece.

Barbie Donut with Berries and Cream

The Barbie Berry Donut is “as sweet as Barbie herself,” according to the brand. It also starts as an unglazed donut and is filled with strawberry cream, dipped in white frosting, drizzled with purple and pink buttercream, and topped with a Barbie heart.

Donut Barbie Sweet 65th Anniversary

This original glazed doughnut is kept relatively simple. It’s dipped in chocolate frosting and topped with Barbie Sweet 65th sprinkles, giving it a certain subtlety for a doll that hasn’t been anything special for over six decades.

“Barbie and Krispy Kreme are two brands that instantly spark joy and sweet memories,” added Meredith Norrie, vice president of global licensing and consumer products at Mattel. “As we continue to celebrate Barbie’s 65th anniversary this year, Krispy Kreme is the perfect partner to join us, inviting fans of all generations to enjoy the perfect blend of flavor and style, with nods to Barbie sprinkled into every bite.”

Fans can get the doughnuts as individual treats or in a six-pack of Krispy Kreme doughnuts. But hurry. Barbie is turning 66 soon, and there probably won’t be any special doughnuts for that.
