    I guess there are similar ones in the US but they still don't taste as good to me... although I admit I love Boston Cream donuts.

    I haven't had one before! They only open shop in my state this year! Perth peeps are in love with them! Before they open this year the nearest one was a 6 hour plane ride away!
    I am hoping not to taste one, just in case I want to eat them all

    During my trip to Hawaii this February we had malasadas during a century ride. Presumably more than 200 calories, but worth it. I usually don't like filled donuts, but for some reason these were an exception.

    What were they filled with? They look tasty!

    I remember when KK arrived in Phoenix (when I lived there), so much buzz. And of course the hype around it ended up in me being disappointed once I finally had one. Tasted like straight up butter. Like if Cotton Candy wasn't spun sugar but was spun butter. Some weird nothing-substance that melted on my tongue and tasted like butter. I haven't had another one since.

    The same thing happened to me in Southern California. The hype before they opened was incredible - great marketing team they have there. There were actually traffic jams and long lines to get a donut. I bought into the hype - much the way I bought into the hype for "Frampton Comes Alive"* - and was just as disappointed as you were.

    There are a variety of options -- custard, coconut custard, fruit filling, or chocolate.

    Ok. So not a lot can beat a fresh, still warm, plain KK donut. It melts in your mouth and is just:

    Oh please - I've given up 500 of my 1200 for wine before, if someone wants to give up a couple hundred for a donut that's their business. :)

    Haha, yeah, I read that one and thought about the day I just had Hershey Kisses for dinner.

    Hershey Kisses for dinner? I bet that was awesome! I commonly eat pancakes for dinner - this past Sunday I blew 1,030 calories on Bob Evan's Cinnamon Supreme Hotcakes (and my goal for maintenance is 1,600). Worth every single calorie.

    I wish I could eat one donut - I want six. Love Krispy Kreme but Shoppers makes the best donuts I've had. Fun to fantasize about donuts ... It's easy for me to avoid eat eating a donut because I know one isn't enough.

    I love doughnuts lol especially those fresh off the conveyor belt hot ones from a KK store, they are hands down my favorite! I'm also southern so apparently according to this thread I'm predisposed to KK? ;) My SIL loves them more than I do lol someone drove their car through the wall of the nearest KK to her causing them to close down temporarily and she freaked out lol *this really happened unfortunately lol*

    My problem is... I don't want one donut, I want 16. That's why I can't have any right now. One day I'll trust myself to just be satisfied with a solo piece of heaven.

    I don't like donuts, but I know exactly how you feel. The other day we made homemade shawarma sandwiches. My usual bought shawarma sandwich is about 700 calories, so I pre-logged that. When I counted the actual sandwich we made it turned out to be 420 calories, mayo and all. I was so happy. It's like wearing an old jacket and finding a 20 in your pocket.

    We have a Krispy Kreme not too far from me and you can go down there and watch them making the donuts, then get one hot off the press. Lovely. :love:

    Although... we're getting a new place even closer to me called Duck Donuts. I've never heard of it but apparently it's a place from the Outer Banks that's been expanding. And apparently the donuts are VERY good, according to everyone who's raving and can't wait till this place opens. I do plan to try one. Must do a taste test. In the interests of science, you know. :wink:

    200 calories? Plain old fashioned Dunkin Donuts donuts are 370. So, I doubt it.

    Dunkin donuts aare cake donuts and much more dense. KK are yeast donuts and much lighter in volume and density.

    DD also tastes like crap but hey we all got our opinions LOLOLOL

    Nay, nay I say!!! DD Boston Cream Donuts make my taste buds so very happy, I try to have one once a week or two. 310 calories and 16 sugars are totally worth it and actually fill me up.

    But those Yum Yums could very possibly unseat BCDs if I could find them. :D

    Ohmygodyes. I'd throat-punch a kitten for a fresh DDBC. No regrets.
