In addition to the new positions, the project will retain 37 existing jobs in Winston-Salem.
The brand, long known for its fresh-made doughnuts, entered the retail packaged market in June.
It was when the branded Sweet Treats product range, which included Bikes doughnut holes, and Mini Crullers, was launched.
The product line was once solely available at Walmart shops, but it has now been expanded to other retailers.
