If you haven't tried them already, Hostess Crunch mini Donuts are one of the half-dozen varieties of Donettes mini donuts offered by the snack cake giant.
A few weeks ago, I purchased a bag of these mini-donuts at a local Walgreen's store, and I was impressed enough to buy another bag of them when I returned to Walgreens last week.
Presented here is an honest and objective review of Hostess Crunch mini Donuts.
Size
The net weight of the standard-sized package of Hostess Crunch mini Donuts is 9.5 ounces, and each bag contains approximately 14 donuts.
Price
The regular retail price charged for one 9.5 ounce package of Hostess Crunch Donuts at Hartford, Connecticut-area retail stores is about $3.99. Based upon an average of 14 donuts per bag, that works out to roughly $0.29 per donut.
Texture/Consistency
These crunch-flavored treats feature a somewhat moister texture than the other Hostess Donette varieties, and they seem denser than their Donette counterparts. Although their name may say "crunchy," the donuts are actually just as soft as the other varieties.
The toasted coconut flakes add a pleasing, coffee cake-like complexity to the texture, and they would be a great accompaniment to a hot cup of coffee.
Nutritional Facts
Hostess Crunch Donuts contain 240 calories, with 11 calories from fat, per three-donut serving. The donuts also contain 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 22 grams of sugars and 2 grams of protein per serving.
Taste/Flavor
While the basic flavor of Hostess Crunch Donuts is quite pleasant, they are also very sweet. With the chocolate frosted and powdered sugar varieties, I can easily eat four Donettes in five minutes. Because these donuts are so sweet, I usually eat just two of them at a time.
Although they do feature a coating of toasted coconut flakes, I detected very little coconut flavor in these mini donuts. The basic flavor of these treats is definitely quite good. If they were not so sweet, they'd be even better.
On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would give these mini donuts a rating of "8."
Overall Rating
All things considered, Hostess Crunch mini Donuts are a tasty addition to the crowded snack cake landscape. While the "crunch" part of these donuts is evidently a coating of semi-moist, toasted coconut flakes, they are, for the most part, sweet, flavorful snacks that are fun to eat.
In addition to the Crunch flavor, Hostess Donettes are available in glazed, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate frosted, double chocolate and powdered sugar varieties.
