The ‘Fright Nights’ range includes a pumpkin-shaped ‘Pumpkin Patch’ doughnut with a toffee apple filling, ‘Bite n Delight’ complete with raspberry filling and iced ‘fangs’, ‘Spooktacular’ providing a seasonal, apple-flavoured take on the brand’s Original Glazed doughnut, and Howl-o-Ween, topped with chocolate icing in a werewolf design. The limited edition range will be available in Krispy Kreme shops and in Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrison’s as well as service stations, from 16-31 October. Consumers will also be able to order a Pumpkin Decoration Kit for decorating doughnuts at home, launching online for nationwide delivery (excluding Scottish Highlands, Islands, Ireland and Northern Ireland).
