Trial Zone: Holey Donuts! (With Discount Codes)

Friday, December 18, 2009

I'm sure you remember my post announcing the Holey Donuts! contest. We didn't win this one, but I have it on good authority that there will be another opportunity to win very soon, so keep an eye out.

On a more positive note, I was finally able to try some of these unique delicacies. We had our fill of the Jumbo Reduced Fat Blueberry Vanilla Cinnamon Buns, Jumbo Reduced Fat Cinnamon Buns and 100 Calorie Low Fat Cinnamon Bun Middles, and I'm happy to say that I really enjoyed them.

Here's the skinny on these low fat wonders:

No artificial sweeteners
Less calories than an average donut
Zero trans-fat
Hand-made, flash frozen and delivered via express mail to your door

I took them to a Christmas party on Sunday, and they were a big hit with both the children and grown ups. The kids kept coming back for more, and had no idea they were eating something low-cal. The parents really enjoyed them too, although one friend said she noticed a brief after-taste (I agreed). There was even a dad who ate one, not realizing microwaving was necessary, and simply replied, "it was pretty refreshing" (it gave us a great laugh).

And my rating: 4 1/2 mamas

Did I love it? mostly, but I did notice that slight after taste
Is it kid/family approved? absolutely, and by some great friends too
Did it deliver what was promised? yep!
Is it a great price? It's definitely a special treat and not an anytime snack. Assortments seem to be priced from $11.95-16.95
Is it unique and creative? yes, and quite yummy
