Krispy Kreme is rolling out a mini version of their classic doughnuts

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/06/business/krispy-kreme-mini-donuts-trnd/index.html

(CNN)Krispy Kreme just rolled out a big product that comes in a small package.

The doughnut maker has added mini doughnuts to its permanent menu to help those who are trying to stick to their New Year's resolutions but also want doughnuts.

"Too many people bail on their New Year's resolutions before they are even halfway through January... Sometimes a mini-indulgence, or cheat, is all you need to help you stick with it. So, we miniaturized our most popular doughnuts," said Dave Skena, Chief Marketing Officer for Krispy Kreme, in a news release.

"A little Krispy Kreme goes a long way."

I think they taste good but are too sweet. One mini would do it for me and not leave me feeling sick like the regular size.

grew up with a KK store about a mile from our house. Love, love, love these addictive little beasts! And watch out if I'm driving by the store the the red "HOT" sign is on, I'll cross over 6 lanes of traffic to get to the store!

I'm okay with that.

We have a nice Winchell's Donuts as well, which is where I go when I need to bribe, um, be a friendly familiar face in certain places.
