Via Jeff at Backcountry Conservative comes news of the latest addition to American good eating: Krispy Kreme Frozen Blends, available in four flavors: Raspberry, Latte, Double Chocolate, and Original Kreme. Says Jeff:
The Original Kreme frozen blend was the closest thing to a Krispy Kreme doughnut I've ever had besides a Krispy Kreme doughnut. The whipped cream mixed in with the blend was the finishing touch that tasted just like the glazing on the doughnuts.
For the record, a 16 oz. Frozen Original Kreme delivers a hard-hitting 600 calories, 21 grams of fat, and 95 grams of carbohydrate.
Coincidentally, yesterday brought more knowledge that should be forbidden: a recipe for "Bill Nicholson's Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding with Butter Rum Sauce" was recently demonstrated and actually consumed by TV chef Paula Deen on her Food Network show. Take a look at these ingredients:
2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
2 (4.5-ounce) cans fruit cocktail (undrained)
2 eggs, beaten
1 (9-ounce) box raisins
1 pinch salt
1 or 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Butter Rum Sauce:
1 stick butter
1 pound box confectioners' sugar
Rum, to taste
As a diabetic, words are clearly inadequate to describe these foodstuffs; they are both hypnotically alluring and obviously deadly. What a country.
