We used to get them baked fresh that day where the company started. Mostly we went for the crumb cakes. Eventually they expanded so y'all can enjoy them everywhere.
Now they're owned by Bimbo..........a Mexican company.
Those chocolate donuts are great.
I used to have a mild addiction to the chocolate Hostess Donettes. A six pack and a 28 oz 7-Up after school, or with a quart of chocolate milk.
Wife is making some apple strudel this morning..............so I'll take a pass on the donuts..............and think fondly of them.
And crumb cake. Fresh from the bakery. In a box on a grocery store shelf................it's just not the same.

I picked up similar donuts in the Holiday gas station last week before heading on on a hunt. Chocolate on chocolate. Awesome. And the box donuts with the waxy chocolate sometimes are better than the luxury donuts. Ate two immediately and crashed an hour later. Not used to high carbs and sugar. Amazing if you cut out carbs how shcitty you feel eating high carb, high sugar junk food. Tastes good though!
A once or twice a year indulgence. Choco wax!

When I was still working occasionally I’d have to pass by a Krispy Kreme shop in Alexandria, VA where they actually made the donuts. Nothing like a fresh warm Krispy Kreme and a cup of good coffee at 3am.
What fresh Hell is this?

I have one of the best donut places in the state about 3 miles from the house.
Their idea of a chocolate donut is to take a glazed donut and spread some cake frosting on it.
Not in the same category of this donut. That's not good.

Nothing like a fresh warm Krispy Kreme and a cup of good coffee at 3am. Thats a winner ‘any’ time of the day or night. There used to be a Krispy Kreme store in the mezzanine walkway between Excalibur and Luxor (it might still be there) in Las Vegas. They had cream filled (that white cream that’s basically powdered sugar and Crisco) donuts with heavy glaze on em’. They were so damn good. But you felt like you were sinnin’ because they were so decadent.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Used eat a sleeve each of the Little Debbie powdered and chocolate covered donuts.
Bought them at the gas station before the 3am Sunday morning paper route.

Meh, may have been Hostess... I bought a big Sam’s tub of the little powdered mini donuts. Opened them up and squirted a little dash of Stokolan hand lotion into the pinched up middle of several of them. Carried them over to our douchebag HVAC dept’s break room. Next day there was about 20 on my work truck antenna. the rest were pelted against our cabinet shop building. Lol
