Kinnikinnick Donut Review

http://consumer.kinnikinnick.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.home/productcategoryid/17

when we first went gluten free these donuts were heavenly.   I am not sure if we just learned how to eat better foods or the quality and quantity has sorely gone down hill for Kinnikinnick.    I use to be willing to pay $8 a box for these but now cringe when I have to.  

Sadly my son still enjoys these and I splurge and get them for him for his birthday.  He just likes the chocolate coated and maple coated ones which the other companies that we have in our stores have not come out with yet.   (see other post on Katz, they have a large variety but I can’t get them in my neck of the woods)    so I thought I would review them since I was having to buy them anyway.

Lets break it down.

Pros:   the coating on them is good………..um that’s about it.

Cons:  

1.The price for the quality and quantity of product you get.   Seriously one donut is three bites.

2.  the texture is gummy and unpleasant

3.  the aftertaste is awful, I drink a whole glass of almond milk with each donut; it is that dense and nasty. (why do I eat it, well I don’t any more but I did taste each flavor for the sake of this review.  I really wanted it to be positive because like I said they use to be my all time favorite until their quality went downhill)

4.  I just have nothing good to say.  I am sorry but I just don’t enjoy their donut products.  I have tried all 4 flavors and what use to be heaven is just now not worth even looking at any more.

Sorry but they get a two thumbs down from me.

      Yes they do and jelly and custard filled ones. But my stores up here only carry the one variety sadly so I haven’t had the chance to taste any of the other ones. How I wish I could; Shipping to Alaska is outrageous for them so one day when I feel like splurging I am going to order a ton of stuff. I asked our stores to carry more variety and have asked Katz but because of our “region” we can only get select items.
