\"Krispy<\/p>\n

How many ways are there to eat a Reese\u2019s? Aside from the classic cup formation, there are many candy offshoots, a breakfast cereal, spreads, Chips Ahoy! cookies, Baskin-Robbins ice cream, Breyers ice cream, and on and on. Apparently, people like Reese\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Coming in right as the dog days of summer settle in with increasing heat and laziness, Krispy Kreme unleashed a morning confection that features a classic yeast doughnut filled with Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Kreme, dipped in milk chocolate icing, topped with Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Chips and chopped peanuts, and finished with a drizzle of chocolate and peanut butter. Whew. Are you still breathing? I\u2019m not sure that I am.<\/p>\n

This doughnut is a thing of beauty. It feels heavy in the hand and looks like a million lip smackin\u2019 peanut buttery bucks. The light brown drizzle is exactly as advertised, and is straight peanut butter that squishes and moves to the touch. I was anticipating an icing or frosting with some firmness but it maintains its gooey-ness, and as I lick it off of my fingers, it is salty and fatty in all the right ways.<\/p>\n

Biting in is a revelation of Krispy-meets-Reese\u2019s indulgence that is damn near everything I had hoped it would be. Given KK\u2019s notoriously sweet reputation I\u2019m shocked by the restrained and balanced sweetness in the overall flavor. The rich fattiness from the peanuts and peanut butter on top mingle with the chocolate icing and chips for the ultimate topping yin and yang, pairing wonderfully with the pillowy, soft, not at all greasy, and not at all sweet yeast doughnut. The toppings do well to boost the intention of the doughnut but also bring a solid crunch to push up against the abundant fresh softness of the chew itself.<\/p>\n

\"Krispy<\/p>\n

The highlight of this Krispy masterpiece, and likely what will draw most people to want to try it, is the Reese\u2019s Kreme filling. Krispy Kreme\u2019s usual kreme is smooth and very sweet with vanilla undertones. It has many similarities to the filling made famous by Hostess and Little Debbie. This filling takes that same thick, slightly whipped texture and tempers it flawlessly with rich peanut butter-y notes that are juuussst sweet enough to honor the iconic candy. It\u2019s smooth and velvety with a bold nuttiness that still leaves enough room for a little of that signature KK filling flavor to sneak through. My one minor complaint is I wish there was a bit more filling, as both ends of the doughnut were a bit naked.<\/p>\n

\"Krispy<\/p>\n

Simply put, this doughnut tastes better than it costs, and for $1.59 it is an absolute steal and must-try for any peanut butter or fried dough aficionado. With a touch more chocolate and a hint more filling, the chain pastry world would be looking at a perfect 10, but no matter how I try and nitpick, I already want another one.<\/p>\n
