This Halloween, Krispy Kreme isn’t just rolling out pumpkin-spiced lattes and cobwebs—they’re unleashing a full-on sugar storm. Say hello to their bold new “Trick or Treat!” collection: four over-the-top themed doughnuts that look like they walked off a haunted candy shelf. And if that’s not enough, there’s a costume-bonus free doughnut deal that turns your spooky outfit into serious snack savings. Dive in to see which treats you’ll be scrambling for—and exactly how to snag that freebie.
Jack-O-Lantern Face Surprise
One of the headliners is the Jack-O-Lantern Doughnut—a shell doughnut iced in vibrant orange buttercream and topped with a carved pumpkin face and green icing “stem.” It captures everything you imagine about fall and Halloween rolled into one edible bite: bold color, playful design, and seasonal flair. If you’re posting your snack on social, this one’s built for the ‘gram. And because it’s part of this limited collection, missing it might lead to regret (or worse—glazed-famine).
Candy Bag Candy-Explosion Doughnut
Next up: the Candy Bag Doughnut. It’s built on their Original Glazed base, topped with chocolate-buttercream, caramel swirls, and a mix of tiny candy pieces—like the best stuff from your trick-or-treat haul melted down into doughnut form. It’s peak indulgence-mode: crunchy, sweet, chocolatey, caramel-rich. When you bite in, you’re basically diving into your own candy jackpot. Just don’t count on sharing—it’s tempting to go solo.
Cookies & Skreme House Madness
Then there’s the Cookies & Skreme House Doughnut: a shell doughnut filled with cookies-and-cream “Kreme”, dipped in chocolate icing, topped with crunchy silver cookie bits and a ghost-purple swirl, and wrapped up with an edible haunted-house sugar piece on top. It’s dramatic. It’s decadent. It’s visually wild. If you like your sweets with extra theatre, this one’s the poster-child of the collection.
Spooky Sprinkle Green-Iced Classic
For those who like something a bit simpler but still festive: the Spooky Sprinkle Doughnut. It starts with the Original Glazed, dips into bright green icing, and is covered on one side with Halloween-themed sprinkles—purple, black, orange. It’s fun. It’s quirky. It’s great for a more casual snack or if you wanted to pick something that says “Halloween” without going full theatrical. Sometimes the bright green icing is all you need to join the party.
Free Doughnut Days via Costume Bonus
Here’s where things get fun: Krispy Kreme is offering a free doughnut (Original Glazed or Classic Ring) to anyone who shows up in costume at a participating store on Oct. 25 and again on Oct. 31—no purchase required. Two chances. Zero tricks. That’s a pretty sweet incentive to dig out a costume or make a quick one. Consider it your sugar-powered reward for Halloween spirit.
Limited Time Only: Get It While It’s Hot
The Trick or Treat! collection is available for a limited time in-store, via the app or website, and includes a special Halloween-themed dozen box. Once the season ends—or supplies run out—these flavors may vanish. If you’re thinking “maybe later” you might end up missing them altogether. So if you’re in the mood, plan your visit sooner rather than later.
How to Order: In-Store & Digital Options
Whether you prefer drive-thru, pick-up, or delivery, Krispy Kreme’s got you covered. Their website and app have the collection listed. Just make sure you select the correct location (and maybe verify if your local store is participating) since availability may vary. And yes—delivery means you don’t have to leave your costume on (unless you want to).
Why This Matters for Halloween Treats
These donuts aren’t just another seasonal flavor—they signal how casual eateries are transforming snacks into events. The designs are elevated, the deals smart, and the pairing of limited-time + costume-bonus means it’s more than food—it’s part of the celebration. If you’re going to carve pumpkins and bob for apples, you might as well salt in something unforgettable like this.
Budget & Strategy: Best Moves for Fans
You’ll want to check pricing at your specific location (prices can vary). But the bigger strategy? If you’re game, go for the full set of four in a dozen box—ideal for sharing or splurging. Then show up in costume on one of the free-doughnut days for a bonus hit. Tip: Grab your free doughnut before you head home, so you don’t ruin the surprise treat moment.
What to Know Before You Go
Limited time means limited quantity—once they’re gone, they’re gone. Shows up in costume? Get your free doughnut. On those key days. Check your local store’s participation and hours. Delivery works, but for best freshness go in-store if you can. Bring your appetite—and maybe a friend. Some of these doughnuts are very rich.
