A while back I was watching a new show about donuts on the Food Network. It was very similar to Cupcake Wars, except the contestants were competing to make the best donut instead of the best cupcake. Further evidence to support my opinion that donuts are the new cupcakes! Anyways, one of the contestants was the owner of a small donut shop in Massachusetts called Donna's Donuts.
Donna's Donuts is located in Tewksbury, right next to my hometown of Andover. I can't believe I never knew it existed. From the outside Donna's Donuts doesn't look like anything special, but the donuts are some of the best I have ever had.
The other weekend my mom and I decided to check out Donna's Donuts for the first time. Unfortunately they were sold out of their famous cheeseburger donut, but we tried a few of their other flavors instead. I have always loved old-fashioned style donuts and this is exactly what is offered at Donna's Donuts. My favorite was the cinnamon glazed donut.
I brought home a buttercrunch donut for Dan, which has always been one of his favorite flavors. He gave this one two thumbs up.
I also loved the chocolate crueler from Donna's Donuts. It is one of the best I have ever had.
Last weekend my mom and I went back and finally tried the famous cheeseburger donut. Although it is 100% donut, I can't get over how much it looks like a cheeseburger. It is a chocolate donut sandwiched between two glazed donuts and covered in pastry cream to resemble cheese.
I also spotted this steak and cheese donut. Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you- this one is 100% donut too! How fun are these specialty donuts!

All this donut tasting must be hard for you ;) Wow, that donut cheeseburger is so cool!
ReplyDeleteOh wow...that cheeseburger donut.....I'd totally try that! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat cheeseburger donut is so creative. I can't believe how realistic it looks! And they make a meatball sub donut, too?! Wow!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I made some Purple People Eater cupcakes this weekend after seeing the adorable Cookie Monster you posted recently! I'd never tried using the grass/fur tip from my decorating kit before, but was pleased with the results. Thanks for the inspiration!
Savory donuts ... I could so do that! A donut for dinner - oh yeah! I have to try that at home. Was it a cheeseburger in between two donuts? Donna's donuts (first off, love the name) sounds so good. I love these posts, they are so much fun and make me want to go find our local donut shops. :)
ReplyDeleteit is actually 100% donut! the burger is a chocolate donut, which is sandwiched between two glazed donuts. Doesn't it look just like a cheeseburger though?
