| - So maybe I was just a bit too excited for Jelly. It could be that I built them up so much in my head over the course of the last few months, that when I actually dove into my first box, I was a tad disappointed... I was expecting to give them 5 stars, then was going to give only 3, but realized that there could be some mitigating factors as to why it wasn't as mind blowing as expected and settled on 4.
So it was my last night in Ctown after an ENTIRE Stampede. I went in thinking I would buy one and gobble it up. Wow, there are just so many glorious choices! From Madagascar vanilla, to raspberry filled jelly. Then really cool concoctions like S'mores, maple bacon, peanut butter cup, caramel and pretzel, and on and on. I knew I was having family dinner that evening, so I bought a box of 6 and took them to-go. Now, a drive back to Edmonton, a wait till after dinner, that could explain my biggest disappointment: the dough part of the doughnut was very dried out, on all of them. So sad. I just don't understand how the 7hrs in the box could dry them out that much... I have had boxes of Krispy Kream's that are still moist 2-3 days later. Perhaps the box should have been in a plastic bag.... Maybe that is something for them to consider offering when people buy a large box.
The other thing that irked me was that a few of them were just so sweet my face puckered and I couldn't even taste it. I believe it was the S'mores one, it was like eating a spoonful of icing sugar, noting like a S'more. Now the raspberry jelly, that was a spectacular doughnut! It tasted like real raspberry, I highly suggest it. I guess at a place called Jelly, go for what their claim to fame is: The jelly doughnut!
