Not exactly like the 90’s bag, but thankfully it’s not the noisy compostable bag. (Spotted by Sarah D at Dillons, @cutetnkrbelle at Harris Teeter, and Rik at Smiths.)

The one the left is a returning flavor. The one on the right is also a returning flavor. I think they’re both back at the same time because Pringles wants us to buy them and combine them to form Volton, I mean, a bacon and mac ‘n cheese Pringles stack. (Spotted by Robbie at Dollar General.)

Isn’t it more satisfying to hammer a sleeve of Ritz with a meat tenderizer or wiggle your butt while sitting on a box of Ritz to crush them? Maybe that’s just me. (Spotted by John R at Hannaford.)

REVIEW: Krispy Kreme Original Filled Birthday Batter Doughnut

/ / Reviews / 1 Comment

Krispy Kreme Original Filled Birthday Batter Doughnut

What is the Krispy Kreme Original Filled Birthday Batter Doughnut?

Building off of the success of the Original Filled Doughnuts, Krispy Kreme quickly introduced a vibrantly colored twist to celebrate its 82nd birthday — an Original Glazed filled with birthday cake batter, topped with strawberry icing, and garnished with psychedelic sprinkles. Party hat not included.

How is it?

Krispy Kreme Original Filled Birthday Batter Doughnut 2

Krispy Kreme’s birthday cake batter is second only to its Original Kreme filling, and quite frankly it might be tied for first. I was elated when I heard it was filling its OG with this beautiful concoction, and as usual with KK there’s plenty of it stuffed inside the humbly-sized doughnut. Unfortunately, the strawberry icing is so overpowering that I can hardly taste the filling, and it’s only distinguishable by its slight custard-y texture among the various layers of sweetness.

Speaking of sweetness, this doughnut is absurdly sweet. If you’re familiar with the Original Glazed you know it’s sugary, but the gentle yeast flavor still manages to poke its way through the layers of sweetness. That’s not the case here with the aggressive flavor of artificial strawberry taking over everything in sight. Glaze + batter + strawberry = too much.

Is there anything else you need to know?

I guess it should come as no surprise that a single doughnut clocks in at 39 grams of sugar because that’s damn near all I can taste. With the Original Filled Doughnuts, I had feared that they might be too sweet, but they didn’t go overboard. However, with the Birthday Batter version, KK tried to “have its cake and eat it too” and created a bit of misguided monster in the process.

Conclusion:

This doughnut looks incredible. The two-toned sprinkle explosion with pink-on-tan contrast and squiggle drizzle is stunning, but this birthday treat is all looks and no balance, with the end result being a rush for some water and a pending tummy-ache.
