Cronuts Cronuts Cronuts

The Oregonian's Michael Russell takes one for the team and taste-tests Safeway's new cronut knockoffs, dubbed "donut croissants." The verdict: "The sweet, chalky frosting stuck the roof of my mouth. You could see croissant-like pastry layers in the doughnut's cross-section, though the dough was chewier than a croissant. Then I noticed something missing: No cream filling. Cream filling would have helped." [OregonLive; previously]
