Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Total solar eclipse doughnuts, anyone?
Monday's April 8 total solar eclipse won't just be a rare phenomenon -- it will also provide the opportunity for some sweet treats, as several fan-favorite food brands are launching special solar eclipse deals.
Here's a list of a few restaurants and snack brands that are leaning into event with limited-edition flavors and more.
Krispy Kreme
The doughnut giant has teamed up with Oreo to create a "Total Solar Eclipse Doughnut" -- an original glazed doughnut dipped in black chocolate icing and topped with silver sprinkles, buttercream, Oreo pieces and full Oreo cookie in the center.
The doughnut will be available Friday, April 5 through Monday, April 8 while supplies last, officials say.
Pizza Hut
Pizza Hut's deal, called "Total Eclipse of the Hut" is offering $12 large pizzas, in a shape "reminiscent of the sun and the moon," the Pizza shop said. The offer is valid for carry-out, dine-in and delivery, according to officials.
Marco’s Pizza
Marco’s Pizza will offer 50% off all menu-price pizzas from April 8 to April 14. The discount can be applied when ordering online or through the app and using code ECLIPSE.
