Krispy Kreme is teaming up with the Queen of Country on its first-ever celebrity doughnut line.
The big picture: The Dolly Southern Sweets Doughnut Collection launched Tuesday includes four Dolly Parton-inspired limited-time doughnuts sold at Krispy Kreme shops and select grocery stores.
- It's the latest partnership for Parton, who expanded a line of grocery products with Conagra Brands earlier this year.
Zoom in: The new doughnuts are available at Krispy Kreme U.S. doughnut shops and some retailers including Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, Publix and Stater Bros. Markets.
- Grocery stores are selling the special doughnuts in a six-count with three of the flavors, including a "Banana Puddin' Pie" and "Chocolate Crème Pie."
What she's saying: "Having some of my very favorite southern flavors in one, unique doughnut collection from Krispy Kreme is so special to me," Parton said in a news release.
- "These doughnuts remind me of home. So, I'm excited for folks to share them with their own family and friends," she said.
