It’s not very controversial to say that one of the best parts of fall is the flavors that arrive with the season. Everywhere you go, the air is filled with the aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon and warm apple cider. Just like every year, companies rush to produce the best fall items that leave us all drooling for more, and what better food to “fall-ify” than the world’s favorite donuts? Krispy Kreme recently released their beginning-of-fall flavors of donuts and they’re adorably delicious.

Having ordered a dozen of the fall flavors (three of each kind), I was ready to dig in. In my opinion, the Salted Caramel Brownie Doughnut was the best choice. This donut is original-glazed, topped with salted caramel brownie batter and drizzled with salted caramel sauce. I’m usually not a huge fan of caramel, but this donut was to die for. It was sweet, soft, rich and the adorable fall leaf sprinkles were the perfect touch.

The Maple Pecan Cheesecake Doughnut was a bit overwhelming with all its flavors but had a great ratio of components. A donut with cheesecake filling dipped in maple icing and completed with pecans, the icing was very sweet but the more subtle filling balanced it out well.

I was already feeling full, but another flavor was calling to me: the Spiced Apple Filled Doughnut. Pretty self-explanatory, the donut is filled with a spiced apple center and tossed in cinnamon sugar. It reminded me of a warm glass of apple cider, with the filling being yummy and full of spices, along with the cinnamon sugar adding an extra wow factor.

Last but not least would be the Pumpkin Spice Cake Doughnut. I’m a sucker for original flavors, so this old-fashioned handmade cake donut was a call to home. The scrumptious icing the pastry is covered in puts a twist on the classic variety of donuts, along with a decadent pumpkin flavor.

I was very impressed by the variety in this collection and it was so worth the purchase. I hadn’t been to Krispy Kreme in a while, but I’ll definitely be a more frequent customer. The flavors were unique, filling and perfect for this fall season.
