Available beginning today for a limited time at participating U.S. shops, the Krispy Kreme x PAC-MAN Collection features three new doughnuts in a nostalgic custom PAC-MAN game dozen box that’s the sweetest PAC-MAN level ever, including:

• PAC-MAN Party Doughnut– an Original Glazed^®Doughnut piped with yellow buttercreme flavored icing, sprinkled with celebration sprinkles and topped with a PAC-MAN piece.
• TEAM GHOST Doughnut– an unglazed shell doughnut filled with chocolate flavored Kreme™, dipped in black icing, decorated with PAC-MAN maze and topped with Team Ghosts piece.
