Mustard & Maple Syrup Glazed Chicken

by Erin Lem

Everyone has that go-to dinner meal when time is limited and tummies are rumbling. The best part? This mustard and maple syrup glazed chicken recipe only requires four ingredients. The sweetness infused by the maple syrup appeals to those with sweet tooths (and picky eaters!). If you’re more about the bite and less about the sweet flavor, be sure to load up the glaze with mustard. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.

Check out our 3-ingredient recipes for more easy dinner ideas.

Ingredients for Mustard and Maple Syrup Glazed Chicken:

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can use bone-in too)
one large shallot, minced
3 tablespoons of real maple syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard with seeds

Method:
1. Pre-heat broiler. Sautee shallot with olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken on a foil-covered baking sheet.

2. After shallot softens (about 1-2 mins), add maple syrup and mustard until glaze thickens and bubbles, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 mins. You can use as much maple syrup or mustard as you like — we suggest making it so it’s 2:1 ratio of syrup to mustard.

3. Brush one side of the chicken with glaze and broil for 5-6 mins. Turn chicken over and cover with glaze. Broil another 5-6 mins until chicken is cooked through. Serve with rice and veggies.

We’ve found the best doughnuts in San Diego, where you can go sink your teeth into a sugar rush of fried dough topped with everything from classic glaze to maple bacon.

The 12 Best Doughnut Shops in LA Worth Driving through Rain & Traffic

by Shahrzad Warkentin

Stuffed or simple, here are the best doughnuts in LA worth your time, money and their caloric intake

No matter how you spell it (donut or doughnut?) LA is a doughnut town thanks to glaze-blazers like Ted Ngoy aka: The Donut King who helped proliferate doughnut shops across SoCal. And in true LA-style, the following doughnut shops have put their own twist on the not-just-for-breakfast treat. Here’s our list for the best doughnuts in Los Angeles that are worth making an extra special trip to another part of town—traffic (and calories) be damned.

The Best Doughnuts in LA (in No Particular Order)

1. Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee

Consistently recognized as having the best doughnuts in LA, Sidecar has a cult-like following thanks to their creative, small batch flavors that showcases seasonal ingredients. Their Maple Bacon is probably their most well-known but we think the Saigon Cinnamon Crumb and the Dulce de Leche Churro is the cat’s meow. PS: Have you checked out their Culver City location yet?

Good to Know: The Malasada is a stuffed doughnut fill with a custom flavor, rolled in cardamom sugar and is only available on Mon. so plan your trip accordingly.

2. Fantastic Donuts & Croissants

The only reason to even hesitate ever taking a bite of these delightful doughnuts is that they are just so ridiculously adorable—doughnuts decorated to look like things that aren’t doughnuts get us every time. While they are known for their rotund pigs and cows, they’ve pulled together “sushi” boxes, “Among Us” characters, a box of “fruit” and more. For a specialty box, email your order at least 24-48 hours in advance.

3. Colorado Donuts

Sesame Street fans will go ga-ga for the awesome specialty donuts decorated to look like Elmo and Cookie Monster. Cute and cuddly is not the only form Colorado’s Donuts come in though. They also offer creative concoctions that seem like they came straight from a five-year old’s mind, like cronuts crammed with Oreos and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, because why choose one flavor when you can have both?

Pro Tip: Don’t miss the breakfast cereal-topped donuts, like Fruity Pebbles or their special drops (check their Instagram) for specialities like the Birthday Cookie Surprise doughnut.

4. Blue Star

This Portland transplant is now a best-in-LA doughnut staple. These artisanal, crafted doughnuts are simple compared to the dessert explosions of their competitors but that’s what makes them so appealing for young palates. Brioche-style, they are light as air so you won’t be left with that rock-in-the-pit-of-your-belly feeling after eating them.

Our favorites include: Sugar and Spice, Chocolate Buttermilk, Lemon Poppyseed and of course, Chocolate Almond Ganache (pictured).

Various Locations

5. B Sweet Dessert Bar

Think you can’t improve on the doughnut? What about stuffing one with delicious ice cream? Donut ice cream sandwiches are the sweet bomb and B Sweet Dessert Bar is one of the originators of this tasty trend. The Hot Pressed Halo, as it’s called, features ice cream of your choice, heat-sealed inside of a glazed doughnut. We petty convinced the ‘B’ in B Sweet stands for Brilliant.

Various Locations
Online: mybsweet.com

6. Donut Friend

While their customizable doughnuts are still on pause due to COVID, you can still choose a buffet-worth of doughnuts from their signature compilations, like Strawberrylab and Angry Samoa. Head over to York Park playground after so you can burn off all of that sugar-laden energy or if you’re around ROW DTLA on a Sun., swing by SmorgasburgLA for a visit with your best Donut Friend.

Good to Know: Not only are all of their doughnuts vegan, you can order a giant doughnut that is 7-8″ in diameter.

Various Locations

7. Bob’s Coffee & Doughnuts

Located in The Original Farmer’s Market, these made-fresh daily doughnuts have legions of fans willing to line and wait (yep, they’re that good!). Nothing beats the classic glazed but the Maple Bacon Bar gets two thumbs up as well. Kids will love the dinosaur and Hello Kitty shapes.

Good to Know: It’s cash only.

Los Angeles

8. Birdies LA

Their signature doughnut flavors include Horchata Twist with Dulce de Leche, Candied Bacon Maple and Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but they also rotate and feature all kinds of specialty glazes and toppings to wow your donut connoisseurs. YUM. Oh, and did we mention they also serve fried chicken?

Various Locations
Online: birdiesla.com

9. Blinkie’s Donut Emporium

Blinkie’s has been a Woodland Hills doughnut staple (and Kardashian go-to) for good reason. Though they offer a wide variety of doughnut flavors the simple, glazed black and whites are hands-down the best. Despite being large in size and taste, these babies are light as air.

4884 Topanga Canyon Blvd.
Woodland Hills
Online: blinkiesdonuts.com

10. RING Baked Tofu Donuts

These GMO and gluten-free doughnuts are baked (not fried) and may not look as razzle-dazzle as some of the others on our list, but their simple, cake-like flavor won our kid tester’s shinning approval. They offer straight-forward flavors, like double chocolate, banana bread and red velvet.

‪6800 Owensmouth Ave.
Woodland Hills
Online: ringdonuts.com

11. Randy’s Donuts

Despite all the new pop-ups, LA is still filled with dozens of old-school doughnut shops that are well-worth a visit, and the most iconic by far is Randy’s. A glimpse of the giant doughnut sitting on top of the roof alone will excite your pint-sized doughnut lovers. If you hit the original location, there’s no real space to hang out here, so grab a dozen of the classics and head over to the grassy knoll near LAX to watch airplanes land. Best morning ever.

Various Locations
Online: randysdonuts.com

12. Voodoo Doughnut

The first LA location of this time-honored Portland doughnut tradition is a must-stop when you’re headed to the Universal CityWalk. The first thing your doughnut-loving tots are sure to notice is the bright pink color everywhere. That, and the gigantic voodoo doughnut that greets you out front. The only thing more exciting is the doughnut case inside. With flavors like Grape Ape, Mango Tango, the Voodoo Bubble, Bacon Maple Bar, The Homer, Triple Chocolate and Butterfinger, you will definitely fulfill everyone’s sugar fix.

Where to Find the Best Doughnuts in DC

by Andie Huber

From freshly fried doughnuts to doughnuts with creative topping combinations, these are the 5 best doughnut shops in DC

When it comes to doughnuts, there is no doubt that the best ones are made with fresh ingredients with just the right amount of sweetness. Add to that, the perfect doughnut should have an airy, light texture and a golden–brown exterior, with a slightly crisp outer layer and a pillowy–soft interior. So where can you find the best doughnut in the DC area? Look no further than our handy list—whether you want a chocolate glazed, jelly-filled, or one of the other 20 (at least!) varieties of donuts, these are by far the best doughnuts in DC that you and the kids will love (and revisit) week after week.

1. Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken

If you’re looking for the best doughnuts in the Washington, D.C. area, you’ll definitely want to check out Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken. This trendy shop serves up delicious, made–to–order doughnuts that are sure to satisfy both your sweet tooth and your desire for something unique. While the menu features classic doughnut flavors like glazed, jelly–filled, and powdered sugar, take a adventurous chance on their creative specialty flavors such as Maple Bacon, Apple Fritter, and Toasted Coconut. Looking for something a bit more savory? Astro Doughnuts also serves a variety of fried chicken sandwiches and tenders.  

1308 G Street NW
Washington, DC
Online: astrodoughnuts.com

2. District Doughnut and Coffee

If you’ve lived in DC more than a hot minute, you’re probably already familiar with District Doughnut and Coffee. But they’re still worth a mention for rotating their flavors seasonally. Check out the winter menu featuring such tasty treats as Gingerbread Cookie and Hot Cocoa doughnuts. And if you, or one of your littles, often feel like you’re missing out on the doughnut deliciousness because you can’t have gluten, they even have Gluten-free Fridays where they offer a different flavor donut in its gluten-free form

749 8th St SE
Washington, DC
Online: districtdoughnut.com

3. B Doughnuts

B Doughnuts has a cult-like following and for good reason: their Hawaiian-style Portuguese doughnuts, called malasadas, are out of this world delicious! Their doughnuts are more savory, such as the Ube-filled (purple yam) or the everything bagel doughnut, making this the perfect shop for those who like their sweet treats a little less sweet. In fact, they even state right on their website that they are “doughnuts for those who don’t really like doughnuts” and say that they may not taste or feel like most donuts. But don’t worry if you only like sweet treats—they still have plenty of the dessert-like flavors too, with a whole collection of more traditionally glazed donuts along with kid-favorite, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, s’mores and Fruity Pebbles-flavored doughnut.

The Best Doughnut Shops in Portland

by Katrina Emery

Who doesn’t love a doughnut? There’s nothing quite like starting a day that is sure to be filled with play, with a tasty morning treat. Whether you call them doughnuts or donuts, prefer them round or bar-shaped, chocolate or plain, cake or classic—there’s no wrong way to enjoy these treats for breakfast. And Portland offers a treasure trove of yummy goodness for every taste bud (including vegan ones!). Read on for our top picks!

Blue Star Donuts

Gorgeous treats in trendy flavors like Blueberry Bourbon Basil, or Passion Fruit Cocoa Nib, these large brioche-style treats ousted Voodoo from it’s top popularity spot a few years ago. Now stretching into the PDX Airport and even Southern California, the seven Portland locations are still a great place to take visiting family. Kiddos will demand their own (huge) donut, so get them in less envelope-pushing flavors like Chocolate Crunch, Cinnamon Sugar, or even good ol’ Original Glaze.

Secret tip: while it’s not as photo-worthy as the others, try the apple cider fritter—it’s a delicious apple-studded taste bomb with a satisfying fried crunch!

Vegan options available
7 Portland Locations (including the Airport!)

Coco Donuts

Based on a secret 30 year old family recipe, these doughnuts are just like the ones you loved growing up. And you'll find lovingly crafted coffee like pour-over and cold brew. You’ll be caffeinated, and everyone gets doughnuts—it's a win!

7 locations throughout Portland
Online: cocodonuts.com

Annie's Donuts

If you’re unimpressed by a flashy glaze or wild new flavor, hurry to Annie’s where the iconic sign is waiting with a promise of Old Portland. Inside, you won’t find a lot of space, but you will find maple bars, crullers, and glazed or cream-filled fried doughnuts that are simple and delicious. It’s what you expect from a place that’s been in the neighborhood forever, satisfying those who just want a darn good doughnut.  

3449 N.E. 72nd Ave.
Portland, OR
Online: Annie's Donuts Facebook

Voodoo Doughnuts

Though competition in the Rose City is rising, Portland’s classic titillating doughnut shop still slings their wild treats every day. Kids will love the cereal-covered raised ones, with Fruit Loops, Captain Crunch, or Cocoa Puffs. Or maybe the Memphis Mafia, a banana fritter dripping in chocolate sauce and peanut butter.

Vegan options available

Flavors include cinnamon sugar, honey, bacon, and everyone’s favorite: gooey nutella. They’re perfect for little mouths—the small size makes it easy to treat everyone without committing to an overload of sugar. And for parents, the house-made chai blends are a delicious touch. The line at their Fremont storefront may stretch outside, but it moves fast, and tables clear out regularly. Peek down the hall near the counter for some storybooks and activities to keep the little ones busy while you wait.

Joe's Donut Shop

Native Portlanders have been going here since 1974, swinging by the red and white checkered hut to load up on maple bars, fritters, and old-fashioneds before a day on the mountain. Nothing beats those bear claws and a cup of hot coffee in the morning! All made fresh, they’re best eaten that same day (though that won’t be a problem).

Sandy, OR

Doe Donuts

Vegans, raise your hands! Lovers of delicious donuts, raise yours! Whether both your hands are raised or not, you’ll want to head here for some yummy treats. You won’t even know they’re vegan—promise! With enticing flavors like strawberry milk, french toast, banana bread, thai tea, and London fog (with earl grey tea glaze!), you’ll be won over pretty easily, to be honest. Just like everyone else—these guys sell out fast.  

Closed Tuesdays

Portland, OR

Delicious Donuts

Are you up at the crack of dawn to nurture and love your sweet little babies? Don’t worry, this shop is, too--you can find them taking their sweet babies out of the ovens as early as 5 am! And if you go, be sure to get there before 9am for the choicest treats, because they sell out fast! In business for over 11 years, the simple storefront hides a large menu of options from cake, to crullers, raised, bars, and old fashioned.

Donuts and croissants are made constantly throughout the day which means Rainbow Donuts serves up some of the freshest donuts in town. The wildly popular unicorn donut is a crowd favorite for kids and adults alike and their savory breakfast sandwiches are also delicious! 

Kingpin Donuts Ι Berkeley 
This donut shop has been around since the 1930s so it’s safe to say they’re doing something right. With classic flavors made the way grandma used to make donuts, this is a no-frills and yummy donut stop in the East Bay.

Donut Savant

Donut Savant Ι Oakland

Do you ever walk into a donut shop and think you’d really love to take a bite of all of the flavors? Well, now you can! Donut Savant keeps the menu tiny—referring to the size of the donut only. With an entire menu of donut holes and minis you’ll be able to indulge in all your favorite flavors. What kid doesn’t love variety?

Donut Farm Ι Oakland

If organic vegan donuts are what you crave, this is the spot for you. Donut Farm has been serving up this delicious treat to Oaklanders for over 15 years and we know you'll love it. Try the Mexican hot chocolate, blueberry or a straight-up plain—you won't be disappointed. 

Also serving at The Ferry Building on Tues., Thurs.-Sun. 

Bun Appetit Donuts Ι Fremont 
Its not uncommon to find a line out the door because this donut spot is so hot but we promise it will be well worth the wait! The famed Everything donut filled with cream cheese sells out regularly so consider yourself lucky if you can get your hands on one. Verve coffee is also served here along with savory sandwiches and avocado toast. 

Peninsula/South Bay

MoDo Hawaii | Santa Clara

Just opened, this spot offers mochi donuts and you're going to love them. Pre-order from their website to skip the line before you head over as they offer five weekly flavors (currently black sesame, churro, cookies & cream, matcha, pandan, milk chocolate and lilikoi) with two daily specials. Complete your sugar rush with a black sesame or ube soy latte for a super charged morning to run after the kids! 

Royal Donuts Cafe | Burlingame
Don't let the unassuming outside fool you—this neighborhood gem is a favorite with locals. Whether you're in the mood for bacon and pancakes or a chorizo burrito and half a dozen glazed donuts, Royal Donuts cafe has your family covered. 

Psycho Donuts Ι Campbell

Self-proclaimed as the Bay Area’s wackiest donut shop, they serve up a menu of unconventional flavors that are too good to be true. Kids will be left speechless with flavors such as “Cereal Killer,” a glazed donut topped with fruity cereal flakes—a customer favorite; “Fung Shui,” a donut with green tea icing, chocolate chips and a vanilla drizzle; or “Nutter Cup,” a donut with Nutella icing and peanut butter and Butterfinger dust.

Happy Donuts Ι San Jose

Another mom and pop donut shop, this San Jose spot is a favorite for those who like their donuts classic. The friendly owners pride themselves in remembering customers' favorite orders. You'll always feel welcomed when you visit. Pro tip: don't skip out on the cinnamon rolls. 

Strawberry, vanilla and chocolate donuts

Stan's Donuts Ι Santa Clara

Anyone who considers themselves a donut lover will love Stan's! Old-school donuts are where it's at when you head to Stan's Donuts as they've been in business since 1959. Stan and Tina Wittmayer and their nine children started this donut shop and it has remained within the family since. Kids love sitting at the counter with their long john and watching as they make the donuts and dunk them in glaze.

Johnny Donuts

Don’t be surprised after your first visit if your kids start requesting Johnny Doughnuts in lieu of a birthday cake. Or heck, that goes for mom and dad, too! These donuts are lip smacking good and are made with local ingredients. Classic donuts with a twist, like the Orange Your Glad donut, or the homemade jam and custards that are filled into fluffy fried bread, will have your kids asking for more.

Donut Alley Ι Larkspur 

The kids will flip for this spot's signature donut, the foot-shaped long john (it's quite tasty once you get past the foot factor). Other favorites include the sugar-covered donut holes and the big donut that is 10 inches across and makes the perfect birthday donut. 

Flour Craft Bakery Ι Mill Valley & San Anselmo

This 100% gluten free cafe bakery is super popular even among those without dietary restrictions because owner Heather Hardcastle uses techniques she learned at the Culinary Institute of America to master gluten-free breads, cookies, donuts and treats. Come for the donut and pick up lunch!

Whole Foods

Tarah Beaven

Whole Foods has a sugary secret, they have some of the best vegan donuts in the Bay Area!

Kathryn Mueller

Top Pot Doughnuts began in 2002 in Capitol Hill. Since then this indispensable Seattle-based doughnut shop has grown substantially. Today, you can find locations all over the Seattle area and beyond. We love their classic doughnuts, but they also offer fancy and seasonal flavors. With more than 40 different options, there is sure to be a doughnut for everyone.  

Insider tip: If you ask us, the Edmonds shop is tops. It’s steps from the ferry terminal at Edmonds, and the beach is right across the train tracks. This location also has a cozy library upstairs; the kids section is located to the far right. Grab a chair and a book, and snuggle up in the reading nook. If you’re looking for a family day trip, starting out at Top Pot is the perfect way to start a day.

Kristopher S via Yelp

The Flour Box is a woman-owned and family-run small bakery cafe in Hillman City. They serve hand-crafted, filled brioche doughnuts from scratch. Everything is made in the bakery in small batches with one special ingredient—love. Pamela Vuong said she picked up baking in college and quickly felt like she had found her calling. Since then, her passion for creating scrumptiously delectable doughnuts has taken off. Her flavors change often, so be sure to check in for what’s new on the menu. Flavors like lemon lime curd, crème brulee or everything bagel donut are as good as they sound.

Insider tip: These doughnuts go fast, so head out early. They generally sell out within a couple hours of opening their doors. They are that good!

Dochi

Emily J via Yelp

Soft, chewy, airy and shareable—that’s what you’ll get at Dochi. Their unique bubble ring-shaped donuts are a delightful cross between a Japanese rice cake (mochi) and an American-style fried donut. The flavors are as distinctive as their appearance, from red velvet cake to matcha pistachio and cosmic crunch. Although these doughnuts are designed to share, they are so good you might want them all to yourself. Like the box says, you definitely deserve to treat yourself.

Hours: Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; & Sat. & Sun., 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

All his flavors—as wild as they are—are 100% organic and natural in color. This black-owned family doughnut shop is truly unique. You can find pretty much any doughnut you could dream up, and that’s how Vincent likes it. His eclectic doughnuts come in flavors you’ve probably never seen before, like “Ubae Me Better” or “Just Like Butter.” He also has lots of gluten-free options and even some 21 and older doughnuts. You truly have to see them to believe them!

9th & Hennepin Donuts

best donuts in Seattle
Kathryn Mueller

Is there anything better than a hot, made-to-order doughnut? The owner of 9th & Hennepin Donuts knows the right answer to that question. No. There is nothing better, and that’s how he serves them. The flavors of the doughnuts change based on the season and what the chef can find locally. Most of the ingredients are sourced right here in Washington. Flavors change every week, but there are always four kinds of doughnut offerings—a raised/filled brioche, a fruit fritter, a cake donut and a fourth "something else." Doughnuts are takeout-only, and pre-orders are encouraged, but walkups are welcome. You won’t want to miss these truly spectacular doughnuts.

Insider tip: Alki Beach is just a short drive away (about 10 minutes). After grabbing a box of delicious doughnuts, head down to take in the sights. Be sure to pack your beach toys!

Good to know: The doughnut shop is part of a shared kitchen and will be transforming into something super cool this summer. Be sure to follow their Instagram or Facebook page for more details.

Hours: Fri.-Sun., 8 a.m.-noon

Mom Guilt. From One Full-Time Working Mom to Another

By Jamie Johnson

 

Please stop judging me for leaving the office at exactly 5 p.m.; my kids are waiting to be picked up from the sitter.

I know I’m missing this meeting, but my kid’s preschool graduation is more important.

I know I was late today, but I can’t drop the baby off at daycare until 7:45 a.m.

I know that I seem distracted because I am distracted. I have a sick toddler and I am waiting to find out when I can get him into the pediatrician.

I don’t want to look exhausted when I show up at the office, but I have been awake since 4:30 a.m. with an inconsolable kid.

I know that my eyes look glazed over, but I spent the last twelve hours trying to soothe a baby to sleep.

I didn’t mean for my email to seem snippy, but I have a five-year-old that cried this morning because he didn’t want to go to school, and I am worried about him.

Yes, I just banged my head against my desk. I received a text message that my kid has pink eye and I have to leave to get him even though this report is almost due.

I know my eyes are very swollen right now. I spent last night crying because I am exhausted, never get to be alone and haven’t taken a hot shower in five years.

Sorry that I was short with you, but I spent the last hour arguing with a toddler over the necessity of wearing pants to the babysitter.

I know I am supposed to leave my personal life at the door when I come to the office, but when you are a mom to two small kids, that is hard to do.

So thank you to everyone that has given me grace over the last five years.

I could probably stand to give myself a little.

Being a full-time working mom with young kids is not easy.

Thank you to every boss that has let me leave for doctor’s appointments, unexpected sicknesses, preschool graduations, and school lunches.

Thank you to all the people that turned their heads when I was pregnant and had to run out of a meeting to go puke.

Thank you to everyone that has let me know they also had a hard time juggling their work/life/kid balance.

Thank you to the people that ignored my swollen eyes, exhausted face and the spit-up on my blouse.

Thank you to all the other moms that slay it each and every day and motivate me to keep going.

Thank you to the people that encourage me to keep going even though I can feel defeated at times.

Thank you to all the co-workers that have picked up slack for me because I had to make a quick exit to solve a kid emergency.

I know that I am not the only working mom in the world, but I am a working mom and I totally understand what you are going through.

I understand that you feel like you need to overcompensate because you get to work just on time and leave the minute the clock strikes five.

I understand when you eat your lunch at your desk because you have to leave early to get a kid from the sitter to the doctor then back to the sitter and then get yourself back to the office in time for your 2 p.m. meeting.

I understand that sometimes you show up to work looking like you were attacked by a flock of geese because the kids couldn’t find their shoes, you gave someone the wrong color bowl and then forgot to take Sleepy Bear to the babysitter.

I understand that you are tired. Exhausted probably.

But I also understand that you are capable and worthy of so much more than you realize sometimes.

You don’t have to choose between two worlds that you love. You can have them both. You can have a family and a career. It’s not easy, but it is possible.

Yes, the worlds might collide sometimes and make life much more complicated, but it’s worth it.

So don’t stop. Don’t give up. You’ve got this.

And P.S. Not everyone is going to understand. And that’s okay.

Until next time,

Jamie

by Tinybeans Team

Krispy Kreme gets an “E” for effort in helping us keep our New Year’s resolutions by dropping four new mini doughnuts onto their menu that let us take a dip in indulgence instead of a running cannonball into it. Bonus: mini donuts are extra kid-friendly. 

With four flavors to choose among, including a Mini Chocolate Glazed Cake Batter Doughnut, Mini Chocolate Glazed Cookies & KREME™ Doughnut, Mini Chocolate Glazed Peanut Butter Doughnut and Mini Chocolate Glazed Doughnut, you’ll find a petite-sized delight that’s full of flavor-on-flavor-on-flavor.

“A small, occasional treat may help you stick to those New Year’s resolutions. So, we packed a ton of flavor into our new Chocolate Glazed minis to make sure your treat is not just worth it but is next-level awesome,” said Dave Skena, Chief Marketing Officer of Krispy Kreme.

Krispy Kreme will make Fridays in January even more flavorful with new offers on “Flavor Fridays,” when guests can purchase a box of four mini doughnuts for $4 on Jan. 14 and purchase a box of 16 Chocolate Glazed minis or Original Glazed® minis for $7.99 on Jan. 21 and 28. But hurry! These delights will only be available until Jan. 30.
