This is no April Fools’ Day joke — Krispy Kreme is offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal on doughnuts on April Fools’ Day, reports People.
On Monday, April 1, Krispy Kreme will sell customers a dozen doughnuts for $4.01 when they purchase a dozen at full price (between $8 and $14, depending on where you live and the doughnuts you purchase). Despite being on April Fools’ Day, the doughnut chain assured customers the upcoming deal is “no joke,” per People.
On March 19, Krispy Kreme introduced “hatch happy” mini springtime doughnuts:
- Mini birds nest doughnut with Cadbury eggs: A miniature original glazed doughnut with chocolate buttercream, spring sprinkles and mini Cadbury eggs on top.
- Strawberry egg doughnut: A miniature original glazed doughnut topped with strawberry icing and drizzled with teal and yellow icing.
- Hatching chick doughnut: A miniature original glazed doughnut decorated like a spring chick with yellow icing and white nonpareils.
- Robin’s Egg doughnut: A miniature original glazed doughnut topped with blue icing and daisy sprinkles.
“We’re excited to help our fans ‘hatch happy’ with these all-new Spring Minis — from the first day of Spring through Easter Sunday,” Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, said in a press release. “These bright, beautiful doughnuts are sweet treats for celebrating the season with family and friends.”
