Country Style Cinnamon Toast Crunch Doughnut

I know what many of you are thinking.

Where the heck is the nearest Country Style because I need to stuff my face with that Cinnamon Toast Crunch Doughnut. Well, my fellow Americans, Country Style is the third largest coffee chain in Canada. So go find your passport.

The doughnut features cream cheese icing and is topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. It has 450 calories, 19 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 470 milligrams of sodium, 63 grams of carbohydrates, 37 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

If any of our Canadian readers have tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
