CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Krispy Kreme has unveiled a new collection of doughnuts inspired by churros, a deep-fried pastry coated in cinnamon sugar that’s popular in Spain, Mexico, and increasingly across the U.S.
The "ChurrDough" treats were officially launched on Monday and will only be available through Sept. 18 at participating Krime Kreme shops across the country.
The company said they’re sold individually or as a three-pack.

Last week, the doughnut chain celebrated the planned Artemis 1 moon launch with the "Artemis Moon Doughnut," a cheesecake cream-flavored filled doughnut dipped in cookies ‘n’ cream icing with a swirl of cookie pieces. Its top was made to look similar to the moon’s surface.
It also created limited-edition doggie doughnuts in honor of National Dog Day last month, as well as announced the early arrival of seasonal pumpkin-spiced flavored favorites.
