Krispy Kreme lovers book December 12 into your calendars now. You won’t want to miss the
company’s Day of the Dozens event: when you purchase a dozen Original Glazed
Doughnuts ($9.75), receive another dozen free!
How are these plain looking doughnuts so delicious? Covered
in a sweet vanilla scented glaze, the doughnuts are soft and airy … before you
know it, it seems to have melted in your mouth. These were the baked goods that
made the company famous over 75 years ago.
The company has plenty of filled and flavoured versions as
well, if you’re looking to bring a selection to the office or a party ($1.20 each, $6.90 for a 6-pack or $9.75 a dozen). The Red
Velvet takes the cake recipe and makes it into a moist crumbly doughnut
covered in a gooey rich cream cheese icing.
Otherwise, the filled doughnuts are a popular choice. I
particularly enjoyed the Chocolate Iced Kreme filled doughnut, which uses a
traditional plain batter, fills it with a smooth vanilla kreme and finishes it
with shiny chocolate icing. It’s lighter than a Boston cream and not overly
sweet.
For those who want a serious sugar rush the Caramel Kreme Crunch will
satisfy the craving: the yeasty doughnut is filled with a thick caramel kreme
and the chocolate icing is further topped with crunchy buttery toffee pieces.
For the holidays, their Santa’s Belly, Snowman or Holiday Sprinkles
variety would add cheer to any celebration. You can’t help but smile when you
see the jolly red belly … in my mind I heard a faint “Ho Ho Ho!” To my surprise, Santa appears to like sweets,
as the doughnut was filled with a chocolate frosting, making this a rather sweet baked good.
If you’re visiting their café locations, they have a seating
area, welcoming patrons to stay and enjoy their goods in store. Aside from
baked goods, Krispy Kreme also offers a selection of drinks. The Kaffe Kreme
($3.55-$4.55) was delicious and satisfying – a café latte laced with the same
flavour their Original Glazed Doughnuts are known for. There was enough flavour
in it that you really don’t even need to add any sugar.
In my haste to try the hot chocolate ($1.95 - $2.95), I
forgot to snap a picture. It’s rather luxurious, made by heating milk and melting
chocolate into it. A flourish of whipped cream and chocolate shavings finishes
off the drink. If you prefer it less sugary, I’d suggest asking them to skip
the whipped cream as the hot chocolate itself had a nice balanced sweetness.
