Krispy Kreme Is Dropping a Special Mars Donut Today Only

In a few short hours after you’re reading this, NASA’s Perseverance Rover will make it’s epic landing on Mars. With close to 300 million miles traveled at a relative speed of almost 48,000 mph, we feel like this an accomplishment worth celebrating. We’re choosing to do this particular round of celebration with Krispy Kreme because, in celebration of this out-of-this-world occasion, a delicious Mars doughnut will land in Krispy Kreme shops on 2/18 for one day only! This special edition Krispy Kreme treat–everyone’s calling it the Mars Doughnut–is a limited edition option that will be available today only. We all want to sink our teeth into a doughnut that looks like Mars, but what, exactly, does that entail? We’re glad you asked. This is a Chocolate Kreme-filled doughnut dipped in caramel icing with a red planet swirl and sprinkled with chocolate cookie crumbs. In other words, crumbs, pastry pieces or the like, this checks all the boxes for pastry pieces that almost made it space. We’re cool with that.
