Still upset about the lack of Necco SweetHearts candies this Valentine’s Day? Leave it to Krispy Kreme to save our love lives.
The doughnut makers have introduced a line of heart-shaped conversation doughnuts with pastel frosting and adorably current sayings, like “BFF,” “SO EXTRA” and “DM ME.” They come in four flavors — cake batter, chocolate kreme, raspberry-filled, and strawberry and kreme — and none taste like chalk.
“Finding the right word can be like, I don’t know….hard,” Dave Skena, chief marketing officer for Krispy Kreme, said in a statement. “But eating a doughnut is easy. So, we printed the right words on the doughnuts for you so you can’t mess this up.”
Preach it, Dave.
After Necco, which has made SweetHearts for decades, announced its bankruptcy last year, Spangler Candy Co. stepped in to purchase the company. Last month, Spangler announced it wasn’t ready to make conversation hearts this year, due to the Necco sale and subsequent facility upgrades. Not to worry, though: The iconic candy will return in 2020.
In the meantime, it’s time to show your love some extra sweet calories. The doughnuts are available through Valentine’s Day. For locations, visit www.krispykreme.com.
