I do like Krispy Kreme but have discovered Planet Doughnut and those are even better! (Based Shrewsbury/Telford way)

The lotus biscoff one was a sore point today. I had my eye on that and told my colleague to save half for me, and another person ate it. 
Waves at @EnjoyingTheArmoire, it was a sad day! Parents would bring us boxes of Tim bits. Completely outing!

I prefer the four Greggs doughnuts you get in a box. The custard one with toffee icing is amazing.

RebeccaCloud9 · 22/04/2021 19:51

We had them on our wedding cake table!

@Bearsbearsbears40 I saw those in a garage near my mum! Are they as nice as they look ?!

BanditoShipman · 22/04/2021 19:55

Are these like proper old school type fried donuts or those nasty more dough like things??

Toddlerteaplease · 22/04/2021 19:58

I'm not keen on the ones from the local company, they are too sweet. And I can't be bothered to queue!

Edinburgh has a drive thru one!!

I should not have clicked on this thread! I so badly want a Krispy Kreme donut now! 😫 I’m on a diet.

lissie123 · 22/04/2021 20:03

Tried some doughnuts in a hotel in Iceland ( the country) a couple of years ago. They had a doughnut chef. They were incredible. MyDH and I still talk about them.

@Heysiriyouknob

They really are.

Someone once asked me why the hell they would spend £2.25 on one donut when they could buy 6 for a £1.

Twat.

I am gutted they don't do the Kreme filled glazed ones anymore. I loved them.

I did once let my house get burgled for a box though (true story!)

Are we just going to let this go??

I'd definitely let my house get burgled for a Krispy Kreme donut though.

BrownEyedGirl80 · 22/04/2021 20:08

Are they better than dunkin donuts?

GeidiPrimes · 22/04/2021 20:09

I LOVE KK (rabidly Grin) and reckon they would be a food I could eat until I collapsed. They're less doughy than most donuts, possibly even laminated?

I was given a box of 12 a while ago, they didn't last long. even though I live alone

Old bill find them delicious too

They shit 'em!

Fried hot doughnuts from those little kiosks at the seaside are my absolute fave treat in the whole world. Grin
Bagelsandbrie · 22/04/2021 20:13

Oh sorry you’re asking if they’re like them... no they’re not but they’re very nice.

Genuine laugh!!! Thanks!!

(And I agree)

Bearsbearsbears40 · 22/04/2021 20:29

@sickofpainting yes they’re really lovely. I had the Cadbury’s caramel one. They are so sweet but, you know, they’re doughnuts... Smile

Sooobooored · 22/04/2021 20:32

They are lush. If there was a Krispy Kreme drive through near me I would go there now.

M0rT · 22/04/2021 20:33

When they opened a drive through near me the queue was on the news as it caused a traffic jam on the motorway Grin

3Britnee · 22/04/2021 20:34

Krispy creme are nasty. The cream is slimy and they are so sugary they make my teeth hurt. And I'm no stranger to sugar.

katy1213 · 22/04/2021 20:38

I tried one once. Wasn't impressed and never bothered again.

TheChosenTwo · 22/04/2021 20:47

Ooh I love them but maybe have one once a year Grin
I too miss the cream filled glazed ones, did they also get rid of the chocolate covered cream filled ones? I haven’t seen those in ages!
I do also like hot seaside donuts and regular jam sugary ones from the supermarket but these must be eaten immediately after purchase, they’re no good once they’ve sat for a while.

I have to say though, i strongly dislike a yum yum. Possibly controversial!

Never understand people complaining about the sweetness of a doughnut, you pretty much know what you’re getting yourself into by actually choosing to eat a doughnut 😂
Saying that though, I refuse anything from Costco (in particular their birthday/celebration style cakes) as there is no actual flavour in those, literally just sugar!!! The sponge is pure sugar - there’s no vanilla flavour to be tasted, the thin layer of jam has no fruity flavour, and the mountain of buttercream has no business calling itself ‘butter’cream, that’s revolting Marge at best combined with a vat loaf of more sugar! I like sweet things but this shit has no flavour Hmm

FuckyouCovid21 · 22/04/2021 20:49

I personally think they are awful, they all taste the same and it's a nasty artificial overly sweet taste. Give me a freshly cooked, still warm sugared donut any day

ScottChegg · 22/04/2021 20:49

@Bagelsandbrie

Don't know if I should tell you this but if you can make them, I swear they taste just like them! Look at the Bunce's doughnuts recipe here
