So this is probably more of a food-safety question but we purchased some various Krispy Kreme doughnuts yesterday and I ate some of the leftovers today. Some were creme filled and it didn't really dawn on me until now that "maybe" that wasn't a good idea?
So that leads me to ask does creme filled doughnuts need to be refrigerated? I feel like I've eaten tons of leftover doughnuts (creme filled or not) the next day and never gotten sick.
But should I be storing these in the fridge?

Per https://s3.amazonaws.com/kkd-e1-images.kktestkitchen.com/ecomm/nutrition/11329-nutrition.pdf, everything in the 'creme' (ugh I hate that word; it is a cream, crème is French) in a Krispy Kreme doughnut is shelf-stable. You're fine.
Also, you don't in general want to refrigerate bready/cakey/pastry-y products, unless you will be warming them before eating, due to how moisture and starch interact--you'll end up with a very dry-seeming product.
