In anticipation of the upcoming solar eclipse, Krispy Kreme is offering a delectable tribute.
From April 5 to April 8, patrons can indulge in the limited-time offering, the Total Solar Eclipse donut. Crafted with a blend of creativity and sweetness, this treat pays homage to the rare celestial phenomenon set to grace North America on April 8.
The Total Solar Eclipse donut begins with Krispy Kreme’s signature original glazed donut, which is then delicately immersed in rich black chocolate icing. Topped with shimmering silver sprinkles and a decadent Oreo buttercream, this confectionary masterpiece further boasts a full Oreo cookie nestled at its center.
The design of the sandwich cookie within the donut mirrors the alignment of the Sun, the Moon, and Earth during an eclipse. As the Moon interposes itself between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow upon our planet, certain regions will witness either a partial or total obstruction of the Sun’s light.
NASA has provided an informative map delineating areas where the solar eclipse will be visible on April 8, encompassing cities situated along the path of totality. Given the fleeting nature of this celestial spectacle, lasting only a matter of minutes, enthusiasts are urged to seize the opportunity to behold this phenomenon, as the next total solar eclipse is not projected to occur for another two decades.
