The doughnut is dipped in blue vanilla-flavored icing, sprinkled with a mix of OREO® crunch and white nonpareils, finished with a cookies-and-creme flavored buttercream dollop and topped with a red chevron nod to the NASA logo. It’s familiar, nostalgic, and mission-ready.\n\n\nThe limited-edition doughnut is also available as part of the Artemis II Specialty Dozen, featuring six Artemis II Doughnuts and six Original Glazed® doughnuts … because every historic launch deserves a classic onboard.\n\n\n“Big moments bring people together, and it doesn’t get much bigger than humans heading back into deep space,” said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer. “We took our iconic Original Glazed® doughnut and gave it a mission-worthy makeover so fans can celebrate Artemis II in a fun, delicious way, right alongside history.”\n\n\nArtemis II will mark NASA's first crewed mission aboard the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. Four astronauts will spend about 10 days in deep space to confirm all the spacecraft's systems operate as designed with crew aboard. The test flight will provide critical performance data and operational experience for future Artemis missions, including landing American astronauts back on the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.\n\n\nKrispy Kreme...
