To my surprise this donut wasn't overbearingly sweet. I usually expect anything strawberry flavoured to burn my esophagus and scorch my tongue, but I guess the dough of the donut and and the crunchy cookie bits of the glaze counteracted that. Speaking of the cookie bits, the inclusion of them gave the donut a great texture variety with each bite. Having a layer of chocolate cream underneath the glaze was an interesting choice as well. It added an appreciable complexity to the whole product, giving the donut a creamy secondary texture and a mellower, savoury flavour.

I can only think of a couple of negatives for this. First, it probably has a high calorie count. This isn't a soy bar or anything so it isn't the healthiest thing on the planet. The sugar content is likely to be so high, with the amount of glaze, chocolate, and dough used. Second, it's a Halloween themed donut so it's definitely a seasonal item that will disappear come the end of October. If you're a fan of this donut, savour the time you have with it. Apart from these two very generic cons, I quite like the product and it's one of the donuts I would like to keep having.
