"ello!
When I first heard that Krispy Kreme was doing a special Ghostbusters donuts for the 30th anniversary of the cult classic movie, I was super excited. You see, Bumpkin's favorite movie is the Ghostbusters. He is only 8 and with the power of ebay, youtube, dvds, movie theater reshowing, and specials like at Krispy Kreme he somehow has no clue that the movie came out before I was born. So while the special edition donuts are a treat for us adults who remember the show and my favorite, the cartoon The Real Ghostbusters from nostalgic memory, it was just part of getting a tiny treat in the every day life of Bumpkin.
Tiny treat or not, we were both super stoked to see the Slimer and Staypuft Man on the window when we pulled up. I wanted to get them on Monday, when they were first released but we had a frustrating week and wasn't able to actually make it to the nearest Krispy Kreme (35 minutes away) until Friday night.
We ventured down to Greenvile Ave. Which is only a block from the Ebola patients apartment and very near Parkland hospital. We kept jokingly calling them Zombie donuts or Ebola donuts. Insensitive? Maybe but that's how we deal with things in our part of the world. So we ventured into Ebola Central, fought the traffic and hovering helicopters to get these delicious treats.
I quickly order a dozen of the Ghostbusters donuts and we were soon devouring them. There were two varieties. A Staypuft Marshmallow Man with candy hat and a Ghostbuster one with the candy ghost logo and green slime behind him. Both were filled with marshmallow creme, of course!
I'll say the donuts were a little disappointing. Maybe if we had had fresh ones straight from the fryer... but ours were cold. The marshmallow creme was very firm and kind of hard to chew. The flavor was good and the donuts were very cute though! So at least they had that.
Overall I'd say they couldve tasted horrible and been slightly ugly and we'd still love them simply because they were Ghostbusters related. :)
Speaking of Ghostbusters, our Halloween costumes will be Ghostbusters and a ghost this year! More on that to come.
Happy festivities Darlings!
