If you ain’t afraid of no ghosts… you’re going to love this news! Krispy Kreme has just rolled out a spooktacular, limited-edition collection of “Ghostbusters”-themed doughnuts, and they’re perfect for anyone looking to get into the Halloween spirit — or satisfy their sweet tooth with some serious nostalgia. The fan-favorite doughnut chain announced the new releases on October 10, 2024, and they’re already causing a buzz among fans of both donuts and the iconic 1980s film franchise.
So, what’s haunting the menu this time? Krispy Kreme’s lineup features four unique doughnuts inspired by the beloved supernatural comedy, including a showstopper that’s got everyone talking: a Pull-Apart Stay Puft Marshmallow Man doughnut!
1. The Pull-Apart Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Doughnut
Let’s start with the star of the show — the Pull-Apart Stay Puft Marshmallow Man doughnut. This isn’t your typical doughnut. It’s an interactive, shareable treat shaped to resemble the plump, squishy face of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, who famously wreaks havoc on New York City in the original Ghostbusters movie. It’s a multi-piece doughnut, designed so you can pull apart his adorable marshmallowy “face” one piece at a time. Oh, and it’s filled with marshmallow Kreme, obviously. Stay Puft himself couldn’t have dreamed of a more fitting tribute!
2. Ghost Trap Doughnut
Next up, Krispy Kreme has conjured the Ghost Trap Doughnut — a fun nod to the ghost-catching gadget used by the Ghostbusters in the film. This doughnut is a square-shaped treat, frosted with vibrant yellow and black icing to match the iconic trap design, and it’s packed with a deliciously spooky surprise: a chocolate Kreme filling. Just like the real Ghost Trap, it holds something mysterious inside (though this version is much sweeter).
3. Slimer Doughnut
You can’t have a Ghostbusters theme without giving some love to Slimer, the lovable (and constantly hungry) green ghost. The Slimer Doughnut is a neon green, gooey-looking masterpiece, topped with Slimer’s mischievous grin. It’s not just a looker though — inside, you’ll find a citrus-flavored Kreme filling that’s as tangy as it is tasty. Krispy Kreme really embraced Slimer’s messy, slime-covered persona with this one.
4. Ecto-1 Doughnut
Finally, we have the Ecto-1 Doughnut, a tribute to the Ghostbusters’ famous ghost-hunting vehicle. This doughnut features a slick design with the familiar red and white of the Ecto-1 car, complete with sprinkles and a bit of artistic flair. Underneath all that is a classic doughnut filled with rich raspberry jelly — a nod, perhaps, to the action-packed chases through the streets of New York.
Available for a Limited Time Only!
These Ghostbusters-themed doughnuts are available now at participating Krispy Kreme locations, but don’t wait too long to grab them! They’ll only be haunting stores for a limited time, likely through the rest of October or until supplies run out.
And, in true Krispy Kreme style, these doughnuts aren’t just delicious, they’re incredibly Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re a die-hard Ghostbusters fan or just looking to treat yourself to something fun this Halloween season, this collection is a must-try.
Who you gonna call? Probably your local Krispy Kreme to make sure they’ve got these doughnuts in stock before they vanish like a ghost!
So, get ready to enjoy the ultimate sugar rush while reliving some classic Ghostbusters nostalgia. Just don’t cross the streams… unless you’re dipping these doughnuts into coffee!
