Krispy Kreme’s New Churro Doughnut Dots Come With Dulce de Leche for Dipping

Krispy Kreme put cinnamon sugar on little doughnut bites and added a cup of dulce de leche for dipping. That is a pretty convincing fall coffee-run detour.

The new Churro Doughnut Dots arrive September 22, 2026. Before making a special trip, there are two useful details: an order comes with eight pieces, and the official promotion runs through October 4.

What comes in the order?

According to Krispy Kreme’s announcement, each order contains eight doughnut bites coated in cinnamon sugar, plus dulce de leche dipping sauce. The brand describes them as using its signature dough, with the churro inspiration coming through the cinnamon-sugar coating and dip.

Think small bites with sauce on the side when planning your order. These are different from the longer, topped ChurrDoughs we covered in 2022.

The dates and participating shops matter

The official Churro Doughnut Dots page lists September 22 through October 4, 2026, at participating U.S. shops, subject to product availability. Canada and Puerto Rico are excluded.

Use the participating-location search on that promotion page before heading out. Krispy Kreme says a shop that does not appear in that list is not participating, so a general location finder alone will not settle the question.

The offer is listed for in-shop and drive-thru purchases, plus online pickup and delivery. The brand’s announcement and promotion page do not provide a nationwide price; select your shop to check the actual menu price and availability before ordering.

A fall treat, with a separate dip

If you are choosing snacks for a group, count the eight bites per order against the number of people sharing rather than treating one cup as a full doughnut dozen. Keep the sauce in mind for transport, too.

We have not taste-tested these. For a cinnamon-sugar project you can make at home instead, here is the pumpkin churro funnel cake recipe inspired by Disney Parks.
