A Krispy Kreme favorite is returning to the bakery case in time for International Chocolate Day.
Chocolate original glazed doughnuts will be available Thursday, Sept. 11, to Sunday, Sept. 14, at participating Krispy Kreme shops nationwide, while supplies last, according to the Charlotte-based doughnut chain.
International Chocolate Day is celebrated annually on Sept. 13.
“This year, there’s no passing a second chance to bring back our beloved Chocolate Original Glazed doughnuts,” Alison Holder, chief brand and product officer for Krispy Kreme, said in a news release. “This weekend, chocolate rules, no exceptions!”
The pastry — an original glazed doughnut completely coated in chocolate — was last offered July 6-7 for World Chocolate Day.
The chocolatey treat shouldn’t be confused with the chocolate iced doughnut, which is available year round and is topped with a “delectable chocolate icing.”
For a limited time, doughnut lovers can get half off a dozen chocolate original glazed doughnuts with the purchase of any dozen at regular price, Krispy Kreme said.
An original glazed dozen cost $14.99 at Charlotte’s South End location as of Wednesday, Sept. 10.
