Holy Yum!

Since Holey Donuts are such a big deal, I decided I needed to make a separate post to give these donuts the justice they deserve! We were all excited when the box came today. I've been eagerly awaiting their arrival since I found out I won Elina's giveaway! I whipped out my camera to take pictures. These are in their frozen state.


Lowfat Chocolate Crumb/ Vanilla Crumb / Caramel Crumb


Lowfat Lemon Vanilla Donut Holes


Banana Cream Oreo Cookie



Jumbo Blueberry Vanilla Cinnamon Buns (these are HUGE! They're about as big as my face!)

Can you guess what we had for dessert?



Haha, don't worry--I had help eating all of these! I enlisted my whole family to do a taste test. Yea, I know--I practically had to beg them to eat these donuts.

The Family's ratings so far for the Holey Donuts

Lemon Vanilla Donut Holes:



Me: "I'm not a huge fan of the lemon filling, but it was decent. I like the glaze, though. I give them a B"

Mom: "These are the best things since guacamole! Okay, maybe not guacamole. Cinnamon Raisin peanut butter? I give them an A!"

Dad: "I'd have to eat about six whole ones to really know. Maybe more. The lemon ones were the best, so I think I'd have to eat nine of those! A-" (Haha!)

Sister: "I liked the flavor, but I'm not a huge fan of donut holes, or filled donuts. I'd give it an A-"

Banana Cream Oreo Cookie



Me: "I loved the yummy frosting on it! That was my favorite part. Again, I'm not a fan of filling in donuts. I like for them to be straight-up. I would have liked it with less or no filling. Still, the frosting was delicious! A-"

Mom: "It was okay. I wasn't really big on the banana, though. B+"

Dad: "Not my thing. C+"

Sister: "It wasn't to my personal tastes (thought it was supposed to be Boston Cream Pie at frist), but if you're looking for Banana Cream Oreo, than you'd like it. Since it wasn't my taste, I give it a B"

Caramel Crumb



Me: "This was my favorite so far! I liked that it was just a regular donut with no filling. I thought there could have been more caramel frosting on it, but I loved the crumb texture. It was cake-like, soft, and delicious. A"

Mom: "I liked it! It was very good. Very donut-like. A-"

Dad: "That wasn't bad. That was good. B+"

Sister: "The caramel taste could be more pronounced, but I liked the texture and it had the right amount of sweetness. I think it'd be improved if it had sprinkles! I'd give it an A"

So there ya have it! We've still got those jumbo cinnamon rolls, the vanilla crumb, and chocolate crumb to try out. I'm excited to try the vanilla crumb! I think the icing will be delicious. All in all, I really liked these donuts! I couldn't tell they were low-fat--they were decadent and full of flavor! I'm thrilled that I can finally try out these donuts I've been seeing everywhere.
