So I was introduced to Krispy Kreme doughnuts when their UK factory opened in Hampshire and they were trying out the stuff before going live in I believe the only UK outlet, Harrods in London. Well I had about 3 of these things in a row and just couldn't believe out light and lush they were. Now more shops have opened up and we just visited the one in New Malden (just outside London) - this place reminds me of the Wonka factory (minus the small fat man - excluding the customers!) so many doughnuts travelling on the production line looking so lovely. So I buy 12 hand picked, but can't resist and buy another one while I am waiting (all of 20 secs). Now they are sitting on my desk calling to me but I am trying to keep them for my b-b-q tonight with 3 friends and the wife.

Anybody else a fan? The shop is themed like so 1950s dinner very nice indeed - could spend a lot of time and consume a lot of calories in there.

Those freakin things go down like water.
They literally slide down your throat,and before you know it, you've had 4.

Well, you guys are finally being corrupted by Krispy Krems Doughnuts all I can tell you is this. Whatever you do is don't be the pre-packaged from the grocery store/supermarket, remember to always buy them fresh from the doughnut shop when they just make them w/out perservatives. Once you get hooked, they can become addictive.

a moment on the lips. a lifetime on the hips!

I'm a scrawny chick, but if there's one thing in the world that could make me a big fat ass, it'd be my love of Krispy Kremes.

I once worked in the university medical center, and I had an office, directly next to a Shell gas station, whcih got fresh Krispy Kremes every morning. So, each morning I'd stop at the Starbucks down the street, get a tazo tea of some sorts, then I'd walk to the Shell station, load up on jelly-filled Krispy Kremes and a chocolate iced, cream filled one for my coworker Chrissy, and we'd pig out.

It was all good, until one day when I dropped some jelly filling on my dress pants . But that didn't stop me... for long.

Mmmm...Krispy Kreme doughnuts

(can't resist dulce de leche)

Naughty but nice..
