Online and offline, everyone is going nuts over the so-called cronuts that originated from New York.  Have you checked the social media lately?  Celebrities and probably your favorite bloggers are raving over cronuts.  So last week, I finally gave in to try the new Krispy Kreme Krispy Kroissant.

I've heard of a lot of brands when it comes to cronuts.  But, I opted for this one because its accessible and affordable.  It's priced only at 70 php.  Not bad right?

The Krispy Kreme Krispy Kroissant is available in all Krispy Kreme branches in Luzon.  It is baked daily from 10 am to 2 pm so better get them as early as you can.  They have four variants: Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla Cream.

Chocolate Krispy Kroissant (70 php)

The Chocolate Krispy Kroissant is topped with rich Belgian chocolate ganache and sugar.  Chocoholic like me will surely be thrilled with its bitter sweet chocolate-y goodness. 

Strawberry Krispy Kroissant (70 php)

The Strawberry Krispy Kroissant is a cronut topped with a rich whip of strawberry. The strawberry topping has the same sweetness and consistency as a strawberry jam. 

Apple Cinnamon Krispy Kroissant (70 php)

My mom who is a fan of cinnamon loved this!  The Apple Cinnamon is topped with sweet apple filling and caramelized cinnamon sugar.  Although she usually complains of flavored doughnuts being too sweet, she said this one fits her preference just right.

Vanilla Cream Krispy Kroissant (70 php)

I've mentioned before that the Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Doughnut is my classic favorite.  The Vanilla Cream is a cronut dipped in their original glaze.  Among the four variants, this impressed me the least.  It didn't have a wow factor.  And, it was too sweet for me.  

The Krispy Kroissant had flaky layers similar to a croissant.  I tried this as it is and also by re-heating it on the microwave.  Although you can fill the layers are you bite into it, it doesn't deliver the same crispiness and flakiness of a croissant.   It is soft and chewy but does not melt in your mouth like the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. 

All the variants had the same vanilla cream filling.  I enjoyed the lightness of the vanilla cream.  In fact, I think this is the key in balancing with the toppings making the Krispy Kroissants indulging instead of overwhelmingly sweet. 

Since the Krispy Kroissants left us all with a good impression.  We now have an idea of what the fuzz over cronuts is about.  I can't wait to try the rest and compare them with each other.

Well, I've heard a lot of rants about the promo but it was a really good deal for us.  Based on my little sister's experience, she lined up at Robinson's Place Padre Faura Branch at around 4 pm and then by 5 pm they ran out of doughnuts but the staffs were very apologetic about it and still accommodated all those who lined up until 6 pm by letting them sign up and claim the doughtnuts 1 or 2 days after.  Thus, we were able to buy a box of the Original Glazed Doughnuts for only 76 php. 

Availing the 76 peso per box for Krispy Kreme's 76 years blow out a few weeks ago, reminded the us on how much we missed Krispy Kreme.

When we noticed that Krispy Kreme had two new interesting variants, as they too join the Speculoos Cookie Butter craze, we just couldn't let the chance of trying it out pass.

Dark Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter (45 php)

The Dark Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter has a rich belgian chocolate top layer with bits of french biscuit bits. 

Dark Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter (45 php)

The combination of the rich and smooth belgian chocolate and french crisp is a great mix match of texture in every bite.  But, what made me indulge in it more is the vanilla cookie butter filling that adds comfort to the its soft dough.  As compared to the spread, the filling did not have the thick consistency and instead it is pretty much light like their other shelled doughnut fillings.

I like my Krispy Kreme doughnuts warm so I popped some of this in the microwave and it become even more awesome as it delivers its signature melts in your mouth sensation. 

White Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter (45 php)

The White Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter is a shell doughnut dipped in white chocolate and topped with Belgium chocolate chips and caramel crunch. 

White Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter (45 php)

The White Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter is sweeter than the Dark Chocolate Vanilla Cookie Butter due to its white chocolate coating and toppings.  I guess that is the reason why I've always been an advocate of dark chocolate than the white ones.  I enjoyed the chocolate chips but the caramel crunch bits were hardly noticeable.

Original Glazed Doughnuts (42 php)

The Original Glazed Doughnuts is still my favorite!  Nothing can beat the classic.  I always add in these in every box.  But, I'm want to try their other variants like the Salted Caramel too.
