Krispy Kreme is partnering with Snickers for two limited-edition releases – the Snickers Ring Doughnut and the Snickers Inspired Filled Doughnut – available from this weekend.

The Snickers Ring Doughnut is a peanut and nougat finished Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate ganache and also has a Snickers fun-size bar.

Meanwhile, the Snickers Inspired Filled Doughnut required close collaboration between Snickers and the Krispy Kreme food technology team to replicate the flavour in doughnut form.

“From the gooey caramel, to the roasted peanuts, we worked together with Snickers to make a unique creation with the most well-loved flavours and ingredients from each iconic recipe. We’re incredibly excited to put it to the ultimate taste-test with our Aussie fans,” said Krispy Kreme Food Technologist Tasha Kuar.

The limited-edition doughnuts are available through UberEATS, Krispy Kreme Click & Collect and selected stores across NSW, QLD, VIC and WA from Tuesday 2 June, as well as 7-Eleven Australia stores from Saturday 30 May in QLD only.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
