Holey Donuts Oh My Goodness!

Ok, I will admit that I have weakness for all things sweet and bad for me.  Normally when I hear the words low fat or no fat, that usually means that “tasting good” took the train to neverland and isn’t coming back any time soon.  I have personally tried some of the low fat foods and something just isn’t  right about how they taste.  I remember trying some low fat cookies that tasted more like sweetened rubber than anything remotely akin to a cookie.  If you are going to depress  me by making me eat low fat, at least make it taste worth my while.

And then I won the lottery….

The heavens opened up and the rays of light shone down on me and I heard a voice that said, “you will have your cake (or donuts) and eat it too.”  Well, not exactly, but close and it came in the form of an invitation to try Holey Donuts.  Naturally, I was skeptical, because how good could  low fat donuts really be? I vowed to put my skepticism aside and surrender myself to giving them a try.

The box arrived at my doorstep and I gingerly opened (ok well I tore open) the box.  There before me neatly packed in a cooler with dry ice were three boxes that were completely frozen, that’s right….frozen.  Let me just comment on the packing.  I have had companies in the past send me refrigerated items before and none of them arrived remotely cold, but it is obvious that Holey Donuts is a first class operation all the way.  Packaging and shipping is a little pricey, but it is because they want your donuts to arrive in perfect condition.

I could feel the love emanating from the cooler as I removed each box and put them in the freezer.  I was again skeptical and was questioning how good a frozen solid cinnamon bun could actually be, but the following day would put all my fears aside.  I woke up the next day and suggested to the boys that we have donuts for breakfast.  Everyone was excited, including me. I took out the Reduced Fat Blueberry Vanilla Cinnamon Buns, popped them in the microwave for a few seconds and passed one over to one of my sons and took one for myself.  I didn’t hear much coming from my son, as he was thoroughly enjoying his, and I took my first bite and heard the hallelujah chorus.  How good was it?  Well let’s just say I am going to hide the rest of my stash and anyone who touches them, is in big trouble. The Reduced Fat Blueberry Vanilla Cinnamon Buns are to die for and I cannot believe that there is only a mere 5 grams of fat in this more than ample size Cinnamon Bun.  Compared to Cinnabon which is a whopping 24 grams of fat, this puts them to shame!  I kept rechecking the package for all the calorie information because they tasted so good, I could hardly believe my taste buds.

The Holey Donut Story

Back in 1958, my father was literally one of the first franchisees with what is today the world’s most successful donut chain. Spending my childhood in the back of a donut shop eventually led to me running and owning my own donut shops. Always having a love for donuts, I set out to create a donut like no other; something that would elevate donuts to a new level; something more high-end, more gourmet, and really just the best donut you could make. Then one day, I walked away from the deep fat fryer and began to actually cook my donuts in a different way. Then at first bite, I said “HOLY $#!%, these are really good!” Thus, the name Holey Donuts! read more here.

So, I cannot think of a better way to indulge without feeling guilty. If I had known about Holey donuts a long time ago, I would have been a few pounds lighter and little less depressed about eating something low fat, because these are simply delicious! Now my only worry is having to choose which kind I want to try next. Holey Donuts you are awesome!
