| - A ton of my friends were posting pictures of their doughnuts from Pink Box and that same day, my boyfriend had tried one at work. Everyone seems to love this place, especially on Yelp, so we drove to their Lake Mead location two Saturdays ago. When we arrived, there were a lot of people in line, but not a lot of variety when it came to doughnuts (none of the cereal doughnuts, no cronuts, etc.).
We ordered a gourmet dozen featuring:
Fat Elvis: Our favorite. The peanut butter, chocolate, and banana flavors all really go well together. It's heavy, rich, and overly-sweet.
Chocolate-Bacon Bar: We really didn't care for the chocolate-bacon one; the bacon was too smoky (it seemed like artificial smoke flavor and the bacon bits were really hard).
Banana Creme Pie: The flavor of this donut was divine, but the messiness was a real nuisance. Both of our donuts squirted (not oozed, but squirted) all over the place and it was not fun trying to clean it off of our shirts, the carpet, etc.
Cheesecake: I personally really liked this doughnut. It's rich and creamy; I especially like the chocolate icing on top of the doughnut.
S'mores: I always love anything S'mores flavored, but this doughnut was a disappointment. It really didn't taste anything like a S'more and we'll never get it again. The filling reminded me of the sickly-sweet white cream inside of the krispy creme doughnuts, which tastes nothing like marshmallows (in my opinion).
Apple Pie: I hated this one, but I hate apple pie. The apples were crunchy, ew.
I don't mean to be hard to please, but I think I'll have to visit again to see if their other options are better. I think people just go crazy over this place because of the "novelty" of it, but it's really nothing special from what we could tell.
