The tragedy of Krispy Kreme

[Mr. Authority]

I only tried KK donuts when one of my buds bought a box from the corner store. I agree with january, those donuts tasted like hard blocks of sugar. Tim Horton's will always have the best donuts IMO.

Paula Deen's Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding

1 1/2 dozen glazed doughnuts, cut into sixths
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups milk
10 large egg yolks
2 large whole eggs
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Apparently Food and Wine printed her recipe.
Like Paula Deen should be eatting Krispy Kreme's at all.
This is worse than the thick crust at Pizza Hut.

Here's the data on it's nutritional content:

"contains 10,460 calories and 718 grams of fat. It's supposed to feed 12, so if you're one of the dozen people digging into this heart attack of a dish, you'll be consuming 870 calories and 60 grams of fat."

That's insane.
And disgusting!

Totes agree! My favourite is just the plain old maple frosted ones. You don't get them over here so I only have them when I'm visiting the in-laws in Mass, and there's a Dunkin Donuts around every bloody corner! I have to tell you though, the concept of a donut as a breakfast food is quite odd. Delicious and awesome, but odd

Do you normally have donuts for dessert? I've never thought about it, since its pretty much an accepted breakfast food here. Its funny what constitutes a "breakfast" food here. My husband was raised on pastries, Nutella, and cereal for breakfast food. The first time he saw a guy chowing down on meat for breakfast, he was repulsed. I never have understood that either, though, I've never ever wanted meat included in my breakfast. Don't eat it much in general, but thats not the point.

When KK donuts are fresh (and preferably hot) they are heaven. The supermarket bought KKs don't hold a candle to the KK store donuts unless they are delivered daily. I'm a healthy eater so it's actually embarrassing to me that I know all this from first hand experience.

I grew up with Dunkin Donuts. I don't eat donuts often (my KK scarfing phase was an anomaly probably fueled by a solo cross country move to a foreign region of the country where I knew no one) but I am fond of the DD chocolate glazed, chocolate creme filled and the dunkers. Though I'm not sure they make dunkers anymore.

I have seen that recipe in a Linda Howard book of all places! She actually wrote it out in back of the book because people were requesting what went into it. The heroine made it for the hero.
I never tried Dunkin Donuts but I do love Krispy Kremes although the pudding sounds really sickly sweet :S

That Hot Now sign at Krispy Kreme is like a sign from Heaven. The things are DIVINE.



They aren't as delicious after they've gotten cold, but I wouldn't kick one out of bed for it.

oh yes ... although I haven't eaten one since I stopped smoking the good stuff.

And especially since ours had a 24hr drive through facility - with a queue of 15 cars of uni students with a major case of the munchies at 3am. Drive through Krispy Kreme - lethal.
