Krispy Kreme is back for another St. Patrick’s Day release, but this time with a little bit more creativity.

Taking some motifs and symbols that best relate to the celebration — think leprechauns, rainbows, and Shamrock — four new donuts have been created. Packed with the color green, the four special donuts are described below:

Lenny Leprechaun Donut: A glazed donut hand-decorated like a leprechaun with green and black icing, buttercream, and a fondant hat.

Luck O’ the Rainbow Donut: An Original Glazed donut dipped in green icing and green sprinkles, topped with buttercream and a sugar piece rainbow.

St. Patrick’s Shamrock Donut: A donut filled with Original Kreme, dipped in white icing, and topped with a shamrock sprinkle blend.

Green Iced with Sprinkles Donut: An Original Glazed donut dipped in green icing and topped with a St. Patrick’s sprinkle blend.

Those interested can find the collection launching this weekend where fans who purchase the sweets wearing green can receive one free Original Glazed donut on the 16th and 17th.
