Voodoo Doughnuts — the cult classic that recently announced its second Houston-area location would be rolling into Montrose later this year — just unveiled its seasonal specials.


The new Key Lime Crush flavor boasts a yeast-raised shell filled with key lime and topped with vanilla frosting and crumbled graham crackers, plus a drizzle of caramel. The tastiest part? Proceeds from the sale of this doughnut will go to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

It raised $1.3 million to boot.
