The most expensive doughnut

ZC-Donuts-00032Tue%2012-5.jpg

 

Before Italian restaurants and crab cakes, now neck and neck at nearly 50 comments each, the subject that generated the most response on this blog was doughnuts. Remember Doughnut Wednesday?

Anyway, when I got a press release about the world's healthiest and most expensive doughnut -- I don't know about you, but two qualities I don't want in a doughnut -- I thought I better pass the information along. ...

 

Chefs Diet has created these doughnuts, which are hand-filled; baked, not fried; frosted; flash frozen; and shipped straight to your door. A minimum order is two dozen for $74. That's more than $3 each.

Here's the nutritional info (provided by Chefs Diet):

I agree with you, Elizabeth. Healthy & expensive are not what I'm looking for in the perfect doughnut.

Hmm, I created a recipe for baked green tea doughnuts that was tasty but $75 tasty? Make your own!
