Krispy Kreme Unveils Chocolate Original Glazed Donuts for Solar Eclipse

For the first time ever, Krispy Kreme will be replacing their iconic glaze waterfall with a chocolate glaze waterfall on Monday, August 21, 2017 at participating locations to coincide with the  upcoming solar eclipse.

At those locations, you'll be able to purchase new Chocolate Glazed Donuts on that day. You can also get an early taste of the new, very-limited-time donut during evening Hot Light hours on Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20, 2017 at participating locations in the US and Canada ("Hot Light" hours refer to when they're actively making donuts on the conveyor).

It should be noted that the new donuts are different from the chain's Chocolate Iced Glazed Donuts, which are Original Glazed Donuts which are then dipped in chocolate icing (i.e. they're both glazed and iced). It should be nice if you find the Chocolate Iced Glazed Donuts to be too sweet.

Here's some b-roll footage of the concept in action:
