Krispy Kreme sweetens donuts with Hershey’s chocolate
Hershey is working with Krispy Kreme for a limited-time collection of chocolate donuts.
Krispy Kreme is unveiling a new edition of the annual Chocomania collection, featuring three donuts with Hershey Milk chocolate icing. Flavors include chocolate salted caramel cheesecake, chocolate buttercream and chocolate chip cookies.
Released on March 19th, the collection is available at Krispy Kreme Shops and Select Retailers.
Hershey uses the brand name to infiltrate new spaces such as foodservice and drinks. Sweets Company partners with Nutrabolt’s C4 to make it available to beverage companies Leases and other brand names Protein powder and energy drinks.
CEO Michele Buck said in February that Hershey aims to meet dul’s demand through the launch of new products, and that as sweets increase among adults, consumers will demand a more complex taste profile.
“Every time we bring out new flavors, new products, new taste experiences, consumer taste is more refined, and they can please more different things, and we continue to see that we can offer it,” she told analysts.

Siggi fires yogurt pouches for adults
It’s not just babies and toddlers who can enjoy food.
Yogurt brand Siggi’s has released a line of yogurt pouches in response to convenience and consumer demand for protein, even though it acknowledges that the portable format itself is not widely used by American shoppers. Available blueberry pomegranate and strawberry acai products have 11 grams of protein. It is also made from real fruits and does not contain any artificial flavors or sweeteners.
“Although adults may not be used to consuming pouches in the US yet, they are a popular snack for the whole family in many other countries like Australia, and I think it’s right to introduce them to the US market.”
Beyond portability, the pouch helps keep the yogurt rich and creamy texture.
Protein packs are available at Whole Foods nationwide for $1.99 per pouch. As more consumers abandon three meals a day in favor of more frequent snacks, brands like Siggi are launching products that address this shift.
The new Siggi products will come five years after rolling out their first children’s yogurt pouches at grocery stores and retail stores. Adult pouches vary in size, with 4.5 oz vs 3.5 oz kids with a more refined fruit flavour and combination.
Yogurt sales have been steadily growing since 2017. According to the latest data from StatistaOver $8 billion in dairy products were purchased in 2023. US consumers ate 4.6 billion pounds of yogurt two years ago, compared to £1.8 billion in 2020.
