When I say my husband runs onDunkin', I’m not talking aboutcoffee.
An admiration that, I’ll admit, has rubbed off on me over the years.
Even if you aren’t a donut connoisseur, I guarantee there’s a flavor to tempt your tastebuds.

On the one hand, the more donuts, the better.

These days, I give it a hard pass.
The frosting has a strong, almost artificially tart taste.
That’s definitely not something I’m looking for atop my baked goods.

So why, then, have I rated it so low on the best-of list, you ask?
For no reason other than this donut is a sugar crash waiting to happen.
It’s so sweet I couldn’t finish it in one sitting without an onset of jitters.

It’s delicious, just overwhelmingly so.
It’s the donut you order with a cup of coffee or tea and dunk.
I’d describe the simple treat as a dense piece of cake sans icing, but not flavor.

Vanilla Frosted with Sprinkles
You’re either team chocolate or team vanilla frosted.
I can swing either way, depending on what I’m craving.

It packs just enough sugar to satisfy your sweet tooth and move on with your day.
It’s not an exciting donut by any means, but it tastes good and gets the job done.

Powdered
Powdered donuts are the giant versions of powdered Munchkins.

It’s a very dense cake, thickly coated in powdered sugar.
Prior to this taste test, I’d never taken a bite of a Boston Cream donut.
It makes the top 5 because it’s that good.

The custard filling is like vanilla pudding, and the chocolate frosting to dough ratio is perfection.
It’s neither fancy, nor too over the top, and yet it’s still so delicious.
Plus, the sprinkles up its fun factor with a bit of color and crunch.

I am among the former.
My husband is among the latter.
Glazed
Ah, the glazed donut.
Julia Guerra/Eat This, Not That!
Glazed donuts always taste good.
They’re not too sweet and not too dense.
Dunkin’s are a little chewy, and the glaze just melts in your mouth.

My only complaint is that I can never catch them right out of the oven.
I bet they’re 10 times better warm and sticky.
Chocolate Glazed
Dunkin’s chocolate glazed cake donut is essentially a giant chocolate munchkin.
Julia Guerra/Eat This, Not That!
I’d argue it’s the perfect donut, especially if you’re a chocolate lover.
(Pro tip: Refrigerate this baby.
The cool crunch of the icing as you bite into the fluffy chocolate center will be a game-changer.)
