QUICK REVIEW: Krispy Kreme Reese’s Outrageous Chocolate Doughnut

/ / Reviews / 2 Comments

Krispy Kreme Reese s Outrageous Doughnut

What is it?

The latest and (hopefully) greatest follow up to last year’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Doughnut – the Reese’s Outrageous Chocolate Doughnut; inspired by Reese’s latest chocolate bar. The new menu item features a chocolate yeast doughnut dipped in Hershey’s chocolate fudge icing, topped with mini Reese’s Pieces and drizzled with Reese’s peanut butter and salted caramel sauce.

How is it?

I gotta say, for a non-filled doughnut this is pretty much as good as it gets. The chocolate yeast base is different for Krispy Kreme and carries the same wonderful light and fluffy texture as its Original Glazed but with a pleasantly less sweet chocolate flavor that lays an excellent foundation. It reminds me more of a yeast-cake hybrid in that it’s nice and moist but also ever so slightly dense from the presence of the cocoa.

The dual action drizzle brings some serious bolts of flavor, almost acting like a lush creamy filling the way it elevates the entire experience beyond a typical iced or glazed. I get more peanut butter than caramel, but the slightly salty sticky drizzles work brilliantly together to emulate the profile of the Outrageous Bar, highlighted by the occasional crunch of Reese’s Pieces.

Is there anything else I need to know?

As with most Krispy creations, this one performs well in the microwave. Popping it in for eight seconds melts the icing on top and softens the cake to a melt-in-your-mouth treat that reminds me of peanut butter hot chocolate. All the flavors combine into one delectably sweet coffee companion that will no doubt disappear in less than 30 seconds.

Conclusion:

This is an awesome doughnut. It lives up to the Reese’s name and brings all the contrast of textures and salty sweet flavors that make Reese’s products the most craveable in the candy aisle.

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

Jack in the Box has added the Steak Teriyaki Bowl to the menu, joining the Chicken Teriyaki Bowl that’s been on the menu forever. But it’s not the first time the fast food chain has offered a steak version.

With these bowls, you can not only choose between two proteins, you also have the option of either white or brown rice. The bowls also come with broccoli pieces and carrot slivers. While the chicken version has been around for a while, it now has 40 percent more meat.

The Steak Teriyaki Bowl with brown rice has 680 calories, 15 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 2440 milligrams of sodium, 104 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 34 grams of sugar, and 35 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
