Krispy Kreme Will Sell a Cookies and Cream Supermoon Doughnut on Thursday for the Hunter's Moon
The moon with appear 7% larger than normal on Oct. 17 — and Krispy Kreme has a dessert to celebrate
Krispy Kreme is celebrating a cosmic event with a one-day offer.
To celebrate the Oct. 17 full moon, nicknamed the Hunter's Moon, the bakery chain is offering a Supermoon Super Doughnut. Thursday's supermoon will be the closest the moon will be to Earth this year. At its nearest point, it will be 222,055 miles from Earth and appear 7% larger than normal.
Krispy Kreme fans — and those aligned with the stars — will only be able to pick up the special doughnut at participating shops across the U.S. on Oct. 17 — but no need to wait until it gets dark out, it will be available all day.
The doughnut is unglazed and filled with cookies and Kreme filling, dipped in yellow icing and swirled with chocolate cookie pieces.
