The donut flavor was ok I guess but it was super dry. Unsurprising for a frozen donut. The filling was horrendous. It was like wall spackle crossed with play doh and it had zero chocolate OR hazelnut flavor. Definitely going back for a return and I hope they stop wasting freezer space with it.

I can’t believe how delicious these are! I got them to try more out of curiosity than anything, and when I was checking out the TJ’s worker mentioned being a fan of them. I’ve tried a lot of different donuts over the years lol, and these literally hold up with some of the best I’ve had even from fresh in-person donut shops! Did not expect that at all. Excellent texture – perfect combination of soft and pillowy and chewy, with a nice little crisp crunch of the granules of sugar. The filling is definitely nutella-like and is tasty.
As a bonus, I love that all you need to do to “prepare” them is leave them out for an hour. No baking, no overnight thawing, etc.
Bottom line: five stars!
