Krispy Kreme Sugar Content Ranked
The number alone (10g, 30g) doesn't mean much until you weigh it against something real. This tool ranks every doughnut and mini from lowest to highest sugar, and below the tool I've added what each one actually costs against the American Heart Association's daily added-sugar limit, a comparison most sugar-ranking pages skip.
Sugar Ranking Tool
Filter by category and sort from lowest to highest sugar to find the doughnut that fits what you're looking for. Fall 2026 seasonal items are included.
What This Actually Costs Against Your Daily Limit
The American Heart Association recommends no more than 25g of added sugar per day for women and 36g for men. Put next to that number, the ranking above means something different than just "10g" or "30g" in isolation.
| Doughnut | Sugar | % of Daily Limit (Women, 25g) | % of Daily Limit (Men, 36g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Glazed | 10g | 40% | 28% |
| Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles | 18g | 72% | 50% |
| New York Cheesecake Filled | 28g | 112% | 78% |
| OREO Cookies and Kreme Filled | 30g | 120% | 83% |

Krispy Kreme Sugar Content, The Bottom Line
Sugar content across the Krispy Kreme menu ranges from 10g in an Original Glazed up to 30g in the OREO Cookies and Kreme Filled or HERSHEY'S Double Chocolate doughnuts, and the gap matters more once you see it against a daily limit. A single Original Glazed already uses 40% of a woman's recommended daily added sugar, and the highest-sugar items use nearly all of it in one doughnut. If you're watching intake, the Original Glazed and mini doughnuts stay furthest from that ceiling. For full nutrition details on every item, see the Nutrition Guide.
