Who doesn’t love a donut?
Thrillist grabbed a box of crullers and ranked 24 “classic donuts” from best to worst…ITHO, here we go:
- Glazed Round…their so-called “pinnacle of donuts everywhere”
- Rainbow Sprinkles
- Old Fashioned…”it feels like a handheld, portable pound cake”
- Raspberry Jelly…”a sticky and wonderfully messy gift”
- Apple Fritter…”the healthiest donut there is”
- Donut Holes…because you can eat more, and there are “no rules”
- Chocolate Frosted
- Crumb Cake…”a crunchy, buttery, topping to an already exquisite creation”
- Blueberry Cake…”severely underrated”
- Glaze Twist and Sugar Twist
- Boston Cream…”even though some purists criticize it for being hole-less”
- French Cruller…the “snooty, French cousin of the Glaze Round”
- Apple Cider Cake
- Powdered Sugar…”despite the white fingerprints that end up everywhere”
- Sugar Round
- Bear Claw…it misses the mark due to its “flat, limp, yeasted-dough shape”
- Maple Glazed
- Buttermilk Bar
- Strawberry Frosted
- Cinnamon Bun…”we’d rather just get a freshly baked cinnamon roll”
- Chocolate Cake
- Lemon Jelly…”a gloppy cornstarch mixtures with an artificial lemon flavor”
- Coconut Cake
- Plain Cake…perhaps the actual “healthiest donut”
