It "brings a light-as-air crunchy texture to the famed hexagon-shaped Shipley do-nut known for its fluffiness," the Houston-based chain said in a press release. It marks the first time in the store's 88-year history that a limited-edition doughnut is added to the menu. 

"For our first limited-time do-nut in our 88-year history, we wanted to create something truly unique, and the new freeze-dried SKITTLES® definitely fit the bill, adding a tantalizing, tangy crunch to our beloved strawberry and cherry iced do-nuts," said Shipley Do-Nuts Research and Development Chef Kaitlyn Venable. "This is just the start of a new flavor innovation journey for Shipley, and we have more surprises in store for our guests in 2024."
