Reese’s Peanut Butter Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Are Here to Ruin Your Summer Diet

Wishes really do come true.

There was a time in my not-so-distant past when I unabashedly ranted about Krispy Kreme’s decision to debut a Reese’s peanut butter cup doughnut in Australia and not in America (seriously, we should always be the authority when it comes to deep fried desserts). But today I can officially announce that the heavenly-sounding treat is coming stateside, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. (You’re welcome…this was clearly my doing.)

“Similar to our hot, fresh doughnuts, the matchmaking of chocolate and peanut butter is a delicious combination that consumers have enjoyed for generations,” Chief Marketing Officer of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Jackie Woodward said in a statement. “In partnering with The Hershey Company, we’re satisfying an intense desire that Krispy Kreme and Reese’s fans never knew they had.”

Wrong. I think all Krispy Kreme and Reese’s fans knew they had this desire. In fact, it’s a favorite past-time of mine to contemplate the melding of favorite sweets (isn’t this how the Caramel Apple Pop was born?). Doughnuts, chocolate, and peanut butter are obviously a no-brainer, so it’s about time these trifecta dreams have turned into a glorious reality.

The limited edition offering will be carried in most stores, but don’t count on it to be there upon arrival. A fried confectionery this perfect is sure to fly off the shelves and into the mouths of hungry Americans. The doughnut itself is a Reese’s Peanut Butter Kreme™ filled beauty, dipped in chocolate icing, and topped with a chocolate and peanut butter drizzle, Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter chips, and peanuts, which honestly sounds like everything we we could ever ask for in a dessert.

Is it too early to order a few dozen and begin hibernating for winter? Not the worst idea in the world, considering the current state of the world. Am I right?

This Ice Cream Is Now the Best-Selling Pint in America

Step aside, Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs. A healthy pint just gave you the punt. Nabbing the coveted number one spot in domestic ice cream pint sales is…:::drumroll please:::…

…Halo Top!

“The reason we’ve taken the number one spot is simple: We have amazing fans. We are eternally grateful to them for even allowing us to exist, let alone thrive,” said CEO and Founder, Justin Woolverton, in a statement. “Our promise to our fans is to maintain the quality they expect from Halo Top and, of course, to bring them some exciting new things in the near future.”

Thrive, indeed, as the low calorie ice cream company reported a 2500% increase in sales growth last year, selling more than 17 million pints of its 17 flavors. That’s a hell-of-a-lot of ice cream.

Halo Top

As Americans constantly search for healthier alternatives to everyday indulgences, the news comes as no surprise. Halo Top boasts a significantly healthier nutritional profile than its competition, with each pint containing only 240-360 calories and 20 grams of protein. It is also the first “healthy ice cream” company to use all-natural ingredients.

While we won’t be ditching our Chubby Hubby or Milk & Cookies any time soon, we do have to commend Halo Top for their success and overall commitment to quality. Many brands have failed to penetrate the oversaturated health food market, but with drool-worthy offerings like Red Velvet, Lemon Cake, Sea Salt Caramel, and Peanut Butter Cup, it looks like Halo Top isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

(We’re also really excited about Woolverton’s statement about “exciting new things in the near future.” Could this mean Halo Top popsicles, ice cream cones, ice cream bites, or ice cream sandwiches In the world of frozen grocery items, the possibilities truly are endless.)

December: Eggnog Cheesecake

I LOVE December—mostly for the holiday-themed foods and drinks, but still.

The gingersnap crust brings the whole thing together; it’s like eating Christmas. If you’re really passionate about the holidays like I am, you could crush some peppermint candies and sprinkle them on top of the cake. Enjoy this by the fire in your fuzziest socks.
