Google Trends has krispy kreme doughnut rising this morning. The likely reason: Krispy Kreme just announced that Chocolate Original Glazed is back, along with a limited-edition Taz Chocolate Original Glazed Dozen, at participating U.S. shops for three days only, October 20 to 22.

Three days. That's not a menu item, that's a dare. Somewhere a person is already planning their whole Tuesday around a drive-thru.

For everyone who can't make the run (or already made it and wants the doughnut thing to keep going), there's the Jelly Belly Krispy Kreme Doughnuts jelly bean gift box. It's a 4.25 oz box of jelly beans in five flavors inspired by Krispy Kreme doughnuts: Original Glazed, Strawberry Iced, Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles, Glazed Blueberry Cake, and Cinnamon Apple Filled.

The box is the fun part. It's co-branded with the Krispy Kreme logo, the lid shows each doughnut next to its matching bean, and each flavor sits in its own compartment, so you can do a proper side-by-side tasting instead of grabbing a random handful like an animal. Or grab a random handful like an animal. It's your box.

Jelly Belly pitches it as the perfect treat with a hot cup of coffee, which is the most honest serving suggestion we've ever read. It also makes a solid desk gift for the coworker who always "just happens" to be near the break room when someone brings doughnuts.

Who it's for: Krispy Kreme loyalists who missed the three-day window, jelly bean people, and anyone who needs a small, shareable snack gift that travels better than a dozen doughnuts.

Skip it if your doughnut craving is about the warm, fresh-off-the-line part. No jelly bean on earth is doing that for you.

The verdict: hand-picked for the Krispy Kreme spike. The dozen leaves on Thursday. The beans stay in your desk drawer.
