To celebrate the 65th anniversary of Barbie, the brand and Krispy Kreme teamed up for a sweet collaboration. Available now until Sept. 15, the Barbie x Krispy Kreme Collection includes four delectable doughnuts covered in pink designs inspired by the iconic doll.
The tasty collection includes the Barbie Pink Doughnut, a glazed doughnut with pink buttercream piping, pink sugar and Barbie sunglasses; the Malibu Dream Party Doughnut, an unglazed shell doughnut filled with Krispy Kreme’s Cake Batter Kreme and dipped in Malibu blue icing with sparkly graham sand and topped with a Barbie DreamHouse piece.
The Barbie Berries n’ Kreme Doughnut is filled with the brand’s Strawberry Kreme, dipped in white icing, drizzled with purple and pink buttercream and topped with a Barbie-emblem heart. Lastly, the Barbie Sweet 65th Doughnut is an Original Glazed Doughnut in Barbie’s signature pink, dipped in chocolate icing and topped with Barbie Sweet 65th anniversary sprinkles.
The Barbie x Krispy Kreme Collection costs $23.99 for a box of a dozen, but the doughnuts are also sold separately for $3.09-$3.59 each.
