Happy Happy Wednesday everybody!!!  I’m so excited about this new series I’m starting today, my junk food review! Weee!  Obviously, I love talking and writing about food, and not just the stuff that I make either.  I definitely throw myself into the category of junk food connoisseur, and am always looking for the newest candy or pastries for my cheat day, so I figured I might as well share my opinion here.  Ok, so today’s review are on 2 Krispy Kreme doughnuts because doughnuts are hands down one of my favorite junk foods like ever.  One is the limited edition Sea Salt Caramel with Ghirardelli chocolate and the other is one that’s been around for a bit I believe but I just recently tried, the New York Cheesecake doughnut.<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, the Sea Salt Caramel with Ghirardelli Chocolate…<\/p>\n

cut in half…<\/p>\n

Alrighty, so this is a doughnut that I’ve been eyeing for weeks and have been impatiently anticipating to try.  The breakdown of this doughnut is, a salted caramel filling, with a dark chocolate Ghirardelli topping with mini dark chocolate chips and big chunks of sea salt on top.  Ok, so basically I thought this doughnut was fine.  I was expecting the whole eye-rollingly good thing to happen, but it didn’t.  I found the dark chocolate flavor to be way too overpowering, to the point that the salted caramel (one of my fav things always) was lost.  Then the mini dark chocolate chips on top then added even more to the overpowering dark chocolate problem, and the salted caramel filling, which only tasted like plain caramel in the middle was a big giant blob and not evenly distributed.  Also, even though Krispy Kreme’s doughnuts are usually super soft and moist, I found the doughnut part to be a bit dry.  I’m not at all craving this doughnut so I give it a solid 5 out of 10.  Just for reference purposes, a 10 is something I will literally daydream about and make sure I eat on cheat days.

second, the New York Cheesecake doughnut…<\/p>\n

cut in half…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ok, so this is another doughnut I was really anticipating eating, and another that I was really let down by.  It should tell you something that I bought 2 of these, and only ate half of 1, that literally never happens.  The filling is supposed to be cheesecake filling, and the topping is supposed to be a cheesecake icing with graham cracker crumbs.  First impression is that the filling tastes nothing like cheesecake, it tasted overwhelmingly tart, like there was lemon in it, definitely a big strike because cheesecake is awesome.  I had high hopes for the graham cracker crumble on top, which I expected to at least be a bit buttery and really, it didn’t taste like anything except hard, dry pieces of stuff.  The doughnut tasted nothing at all like cheesecake to me, super huge disappointment, I give it a 2 out of 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before any of grab your pitchforks because you happen to love these doughnuts, remember this is totally just my opinion, you may love these doughnuts.  Thanks for stopping by!!!<\/p>\n
