Cookies & Kreme Doughnut Ecstasy

There are 4 words that I love hearing my wife say:

It's not, "I Love You Danny"

It's not, "Please Kiss Me Danny"

It's not, "I Need You Danny"

It's........."Let's Get Krispy Kreme"

When she utters these 4 magical words, my heart sings, my mind explodes, my ears fly and I start stttuteerring..."Rrreaaaally?"

Do you know what Heaven tastes like? I do. It's this.

She always says, "Yes".

Then, I don't ask any more questions. I don't stop to think. I immediately stop what I'm doing and go to Krispy Kreme. This craving she gets for Krispy Kreme has been known to only last for a few minutes, once the moment passes, all hope is gone. I have only one mission: Get us to Krispy Kreme, and get us there, Now.

This usually only happens on Saturday or Sunday afternoons, while both of our kids are asleep (I have no shame, I don't want to share my doughnut with them).

The magical occasion of a Krispy Kreme craving happened this past Sunday. When we go, we usually both get the same thing - creme filled doughnuts. I used to be a traditional good old fashion Krispy Kreme doughnut guy, but she changed me for the good.

This is how our Krispy Kreme Doughnut extravaganza works: I go in, I order, and then I bring the doughnuts back in the car and we eat while both the kids are sound asleep. They never even know we were there. Evil? Maybe. Genius? Yes.

This time it was a little different because in the window of Krispy Kreme  hung a picture of what is likely God's Gift to the Food World: The Cookies & Kreme Doughnut made with Oreos.

I don't usually go for the super sweet stuff (ok, maybe I'm lying). But Oreos and Doughnut Kreme together as one!?!?!? Perfection.

As I go rushing in to the store I ask the Krispy Kreme employee for a little reassurance, "The Oreo doughnut is good right?" She responds, "Yea, if you like Oreos." Silly me, I should have known that.

I have a weird infatuation with Oreos. As a young, plump child I used to stick the Double Stuff Oreo package in the freezer and eat them when they were ice cold - only Double Stuff though, get the amateur single stuff away from me. Why did I stick the Oreos in the freezer? Actually, I didn't, my Mom did. It all started because she would "hide" the Oreos from my brother and I (ok, mainly it was only me I was just trying to pass the blame). She thought the best hiding spot would be the freezer. At first, I would take them out behind her back and let them get to room temperature. But then, I didn't want to wait any longer so I just started pulling them out of the freezer and popping them right in my mouth......that was when the magic started and I fell in love.

Anyway, back to the doughnut.

Ah, the doughnut. The Krispy Kreme employee gently pulled the doughnut off the tray and put it in a little baggy for me. I paid and went back to the car where my wife was waiting. She said something, but I couldn't hear her, my mind was too focused on the urgent matters at hand: eating this doughnut.

I pulled the doughnut out of the baggy with grace and looked it over carefully. This was a work of art. Classic Krispy Kreme icing/kreme on top, then then topped off with chunks of broken Oreos and drizzled in kreme. My mouth watering, I took my first bite.......complete ecstasy. 

The kreme filling inside is made with Oreos. So imagine the kreme of the Oreo cookie, mixed with the cookie crumbs, mixed with doughnut kreme - that's heaven people. It came gushing out both sides as I bit in. It was perfectly sweet and satisfying......I can honestly say that if I had one meal left on earth....this would be it.

The special Oreo kreme + the icing on top + the Oreo cookie chunks + the kreme drizzle took me into another world. This may be one of the best things I have ever tasted (if you like Oreos, of course).

Upon my final, luxurious bite, I finally came back up for air and was able to speak to my wife again. I don't know what happened during the 2 minutes it took me to kill that doughnut but I'm pretty sure it was magic.

I suggest you experience the magical, kreme, Oreo delight as soon as you possibly can. I guarantee it will leave you totally speechless.

On Friday, June 3 Krispy Kreme is giving out Free Doughnuts in honor of National Doughnut Day. So this way you get total satisfaction AND it's free. Doesn't get any better than that. Details here.
