Did You Hear That Loud Thud?!

That was me hitting the floor with sheer ecstasy! Why, you ask?  MY HOLEY DONUTS ARRIVED!  All I can say was they should have called them “Holy” as I was ready to put them on a pedestal and chant pagan love verses to them.

Low Fat Chocolate Crumb, Low Fat Vanilla Crumb, Low Fat Caramel Crumb variety ($11.95)

Boston Cream Lovers Assortment: 3 Fudge Crumb Boston Cream & 3 Vanilla Frosted Boston Cream variety ($11.95)

Vanilla Coconut, Low Fat Cinnamon Strudel, Toasted Coconut variety ($11.95)

My free 6 glazed donuts some how turned into cinnamon donut holes?  Hmm… Oh Holey Donuts, I’ll let this one slide!

They arrived in a big styrofoam refrigerator-like box (hmm maybe we can be a little more environmentally-conscious, pals?) and I had to nuke my test-case in the microwave for 40 seconds (even though the description with them said 15-30 seconds). Styrofoam, microwave anomaly and free donut snafu aside…oh and EXPENSE aside…do I still recommend these?

That half grin actually means HELL YEA.  That vanilla frosted Boston creme pie totally pleases the cranky one. yes, yes it absolutely does! These donuts do not taste like diet food because they’re not.  You know that funny little aftertaste you get from diet treats manufactured with all sorts of chemicals and preservatives? That is SO not present in these 100% delectable donuts because they do not use artificial sweeteners.

My only fear is that the order minimum of $35.00 means I have a lot of donuts on my hands.  Calorie and fat-wise, these donuts are such a bargain (oh and there is no trans fat either in case you wondered)! They’re not small either which is great because I can’t tell you how cranky I get at those 100-calories bars that are the size of my thumb. Are you kidding me? By the time I would satisfy my sweet tooth I’d have eaten a thousand of them.  These donuts are perfectly sized, gorgeous and …oh gosh…I can’t finish my sentence, I’m salivating for a round two…

So let me just say this… Eating 10 of them in one sitting could set you back an entire day’s worth of calories, so please don’t do that (I’m actually directing that command at myself, sorry!)!  And if the price makes you wince, I’d recommend ordering these to have on hand for a special occasion (perfect since they’re so easily defrosted).  I mean imagine this: you’re at home stressed and an old friend unexpectedly stops by and announces her hunger:

You: OMG HI!
Friend: Hi, it’s been 2 years, but I am famished!
You: Really? Well, coincidentally, I just so happen to have a dozen of the most delicious, low-fat donuts you’ll ever try!
Friend: Gimme, gimme!
You nuke donut and hand over.
Friend: *Thud*
