Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Randy’s Donuts/Facebook

Believe it or not, Hot Ones is turning ten! So, to celebrate the milestone, Randy’s Donuts is honoring the talk show with a limited-edition donut. Because when I think of the web series where celebs eat increasingly hotter wings and answer questions, I think of donuts. I don’t, but someone did.

The Glaze of Glory Donut is a spicy glazed donut infused with Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo sauce and topped with a fiery Rojo butter crumb.

I love hot sauce, but I never imagined it as a donut. However, now that I know it exists, I can’t wait to try it.

And I think, next season, Sean Evans needs to change things up and have an episode where they dab the pastry with different hot sauces.

I don’t know about you, but I suffer from Peter Pan syndrome. As in, like a Toys”R”Us kid, I don’t want to grow up!

One of the ways I do that is by still eating kids’ cereals, like Lucky Charms. So imagine how happy I was when I heard about Dunkin’s new drink for the Fall.

Cereal N’ Milk Latte (hot or cold) combines espresso with cereal milk for a marshmallow-cereal flavor that’s creamy, rich and unmistakably nostalgic. Building on the success of the Dunkalatte™, Dunkin’ is taking its latte innovation to the next level with cereal milk made with real cereal, unlocking that unmistakable bottom-of-the-bowl sweetness.

“This latte is all about nostalgia! The idea came from the best part of eating cereal, that last bit of milk. We all remember finishing a bowl just to enjoy those final, sweet sips, which inspired our new Cereal N’ Milk Latte,” said Anthony Epter, vice president of menu innovation at Dunkin’. “With our very own cereal milk blended with rich espresso, the Cereal N’ Milk Latte brings that marshmallow-flavored, bottom-of-the-bowl taste in every sip. Just like the Dunkalatte, it gives the classic latte a fun new twist.”

That is not the only twist coming to the donut shop this season. They are adding Mixed Berry to Sabrina Carpenter’s Daydream Refreshers, which already includes Mango and Strawberry.

It would not be Fall without Pumpkin Spice, so the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte (hot or cold) is back. However, if you don’t want the latte, you can add pumpkin swirl to your hot or iced coffee, Cold Brew, or espresso drink.

And yes, there is food to go with those drinks. They are adding an Iced Pumpkin Loaf, a rich pumpkin and vanilla flavored pound cake topped with cream cheese icing, to the menu, which includes Pumpkin Cake Donuts and Pumpkin MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole Treats.

See you later, I am heading to Dunkin’ because there is so much to tell you.

Krispy Kreme has created four magical donuts from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that people in Hogwarts and outside of it can enjoy. Well, everyone but Gellert Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort.

The four donuts are:

• Gryffindor™ Doughnut – an unglazed shell doughnut filled with cookie butter flavored Kreme™, dipped in red icing and Biscoff® cookie crumble, topped with golden icing drizzles and the Gryffindor™ crest.
• Slytherin™ Doughnut – an Original Glazed® doughnut topped with chocolate and green buttercreme flavored swirls, chocolate cookie sugar blend, and the Slytherin™ crest.
• Hufflepuff™ Doughnut – an unglazed shell doughnut filled with brown butter toffee flavored custard, dipped in golden yellow icing, and topped with black chocolate drizzle, cookie crunch, and the Hufflepuff™ crest.
• Ravenclaw™ Doughnut – an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in blueberry flavored icing, topped with the Ravenclaw™ sprinkles and crest.

Shhh. Don’t tell anyone. But there is a fifth limited edition donut.

• Sorting Hat™ Doughnut is a filled doughnut, with a mystery-colored Kreme™ representing one of the four Hogwarts Houses, then dipped in chocolate flavored icing, sprinkled with shimmering gold stars and gold sugar, and topped with the Sorting Hat™ piece. Take a bite to see which house you will reveal. The Sorting Hat doughnut is sold separately in a limited-edition specialty box, while supplies last.

“We’re channeling the beloved magic of Harry Potter™ and the Houses of Hogwarts™ for a collection that is truly bewitching,” said Alison Holder, Chief Brand and Product Officer for Krispy Kreme. “But the magic is fleeting, and so are these doughnuts, so don’t miss your chance to try them!”

The yummy treats will cast their spell on us starting on August 18th.

Oh, and you need a potion to wash them down with, and they have that too.

Golden Snitch™ Latte, a rich golden caramel toffee-inspired latte, topped with whipped cream, Biscoff® cookie crumble, and a sprinkle of golden shimmer sugar.

For centuries, people have pondered whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable. And we still don’t know.

So, if it is a fruit, then why can’t we put it in smoothies? Well, we can. Actually, we don’t have to make it ourselves. Heinz Ketchup and Smoothie King have teamed up for The Heinz Tomato Ketchup Smoothie. The ice cold drink is ketchup mixed in with Acai sorbet, crisp apple juice, juicy strawberries, and tart raspberries.

“When we saw this cultural debate start gaining traction, we knew we had to weigh in with a resounding yes!” says Angie Madigan, Vice President of Elevation Marketing at Kraft Heinz. “The idea of a ketchup smoothie is provocative, and our top priority was landing a delicious tasting fruit smoothie with distinct yet well-balanced ketchup notes. The experts at Smoothie King helped make this dream a reality, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the final smoothie we created together. And like it does for any food – from burgers to fries to eggs – the slightly sweet and tangy taste of HEINZ Ketchup elevates this traditional fruit smoothie to new heights.”

The smoothie is available now for a limited time. If you try it, let me know how it is.

In the mornings, we desire Dunkin’ coffee. However, they don’t have anything for us to drink at night. Well, that had changed because the donut shop teamed up with Kahlúa for a drink that is for adults only!

Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl Cream Liqueur is a rich, velvety, creamy liqueur that perfectly blends Dunkin’s iconic caramel swirl flavor with real cream, 100% Arabica coffee from Veracruz, and a generous splash of premium rum. Resulting in a balanced taste sensation that’s Dunkin’ delicious.

“This collaboration blends premium indulgence with everyday coffee culture,” said Brian Gilbert, Vice President, Retail Business Development, Dunkin’. “Kahlúa Dunkin’ Caramel Swirl is a bold step in the cream liqueur category for both brands and a delicious new treat for coffee and cocktail enthusiasts alike.”

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to make a White Russian with the liqueur and dunk some Dunkin’ Munchkins Donut Holes into it. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect after-dinner dessert?

If this news is not sweet enough, here is some more…this flavor is not going anywhere because it is part of Kahlúa’s permanent line.
