Wait, are we trying to get kids to eat raisins the same way I make my dogs eat their flea/heartworm medication by putting it in something sweet, like peanut butter? (Spotted by Tiffany at Meijer.)
For a limited time at participating locations, Krispy Kreme is serving up three dessert-inspired doughnuts for the summer.
The Banana Pudding Doughnut is filled with, as you can probably guess, banana pudding. It’s also dipped in light yellow icing, topped with Kreme, and finished with three mini vanilla wafer cookies. The treat has 380 calories, 19 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 190 milligrams of sodium, 49 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 27 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.
Next up is the Coconut Cake Doughnut. It’s a coconut flavored cake doughnut topped with cream cheese and dipped in shredded coconut. It has 420 calories, 22 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 350 milligrams of sodium, 50 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 35 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.
Finally, there’s the Mississippi Mud Pie. It’s a doughnut filled with Chocolate Pie Kreme that’s dipped in chocolate icing, topped with cookie and graham crumbles, and finished with a marshmallow drizzle. The choco-heavy doughnut has 370 calories, 19 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 170 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 25 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.

These are regular Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars in limited edition wrappers. So no Milk Kryptocolate, Dark Chocoknight, or Wonder Woman White Chocolate. The bars are also available in snack size multipacks that could have all seven characters in them. (Spotted by Purple Dave at Walmart.)
With Little Caesars’ latest cheesy concoction, it came, it saw, and, probably a little too much, it conquered the market on pizza side-items with the recently released Stuffed Crazy Bread, wherein the middle of its dream-worthy breadsticks are absolutely filled with a river of “gooey cheese.”
And I only say “a little too much” because, if I’m being honest, after sampling these crazy champions of cheesy-bread, I have to ask, “Why even bother ordering the pizza when you can have this instead?”
We can all agree that Little Caesars’ Crazy Bread is already a much-loved and much-needed foodstuff. With their buttery outside covered in a dusting of garlic salt and Parmesan cheese, they are a side-piece that, most days, beats Little Caesars’ pizza as far as pure taste goes, especially when paired that tangy marinara dipping sauce, also filled with secret herbs and spices.
But this newest incarnation takes things to a whole other level of high-caloric snacking. While the outside is still that lovingly baked bread we all know and care for, it’s when you tear a stick into two that the warm cheese stretches in a dull yellow string, steaming from the inside.
And while Little Caesars’ press release calls this product “gooey cheese,” it works for me. It’s a dairy flavor unbeknownst to my dumbfounded hunger, but it’s a texture I’m more than settled with, combining wonderfully with the said Crazy Bread. The marinara dipping sauce that comes with the bread gives it that little extra oomph that I always crave.
Perhaps the only flaw in this, I feel, is for those people with big families with big hungers. Compared to old school Crazy Bread’s eight-pieces per bag, the Stuffed Crazy Bread is stuffed crazily into a bag with only three thick pieces. While this trio definitely suits me, I can see why this low count would ruffle certain thickly-thrifty feathers.
Regardless, more competition than a complement, Little Caesars’ Stuffed Crazy Bread is a filling meal that, though extensively carbo-loaded and thoroughly cheese-heavy, makes for a great taste itself. It’s worthy of being a heavy lunch or a light dinner or, if you can handle it, possibly both.

I hope the roll flavors aren’t randomly put into boxes because it would SUUUUUUUUCK if I ended up with a box with six lemon rolls in it. (Spotted by MM at Giant.)
