I will instantaneously gain 5 pounds the moment Dunking Donuts re-releases their Key Lime Pie Donut

Hmmm....tough question. Jelly I guess. Used to be Bostom Cream....but I had a bite of one reently and it fell far short of my expectations.

Butter Crunch? If that's the one with crunchy stuff on the outside....*shuddder*....hard to pass up.

They're all hard for me to pass up...so it's best if I don't buy any. :>

Thank gawd for a (relatively) high metabolism!

I rotate between 3 tops choices

(year round) - glazed stick - gotta be a cake donut base, not the fluffy raised kind
Blueberry Cake glazed donut

then in the fall, the good 'ol apple cider donut with some cinnamon/sugar coating

I'm not a fan of cakes fried in animal fat, so one sinker is as good as the next.
Good thing for you then that they're fried in vegetable fat. ;)

With my dad working at both Entenmann's and Dunkin' Donuts for almost all of my years living with him, I've had way too much pastry in my life...

My favorite would be Entenmann's crumb donuts. Which is why I never buy them. :oops:

I'm rather attached to the doughnut around my midsection... Unfortunately...

Usually don't get them, but the Boston Creme is up there. Chocolate Glazed otherwise.

Cinnamon buns are not donuts, Warp! You gotta stay away from that stuff, I would imagine!? We all would be a lot better off to do the same but how can you resist cheating every once in a while? :D

Perhaps it is nostalgia, but I think the best cinnamon danish that I ever had were the ones they used to sell at McDs many years ago. Not a donut either, but since we are on the subject, I just wondered if any one else has fond memories of those things?

Dunkin Donuts offerings are freakin terrible. The dough conditioners and other chemicals make them taste like paste. They aren't made fresh anymore. Ugh. The one good donut shop around here got sold and the new owners don't make them as well anymore. It's a lost art. And there's no Krispy Kreme for 90 miles. Thanks a bunch, Atkins.

Malasadas rule over everything. It's a Portuguese donut made with a very eggy dough and coated in sugar. Around New Bedford, they tend to be oval and fairly flat like fried dough. In Hawaii and San Diego, the other places I've been with a big Portuguese population, they usually look more like New Orleans beignets.

Winner!!!! Definitely a fave! For a while, we had a shop in town bringing them down to us but they closed.

I had to stop making cinnamon buns. Fun to do and tasty but way too many calories and fat. Though I did find a Flat Belly Diet recipe for them that's lower cal/fat that I've been meaning to try...
