Dazzled by Delicious Donuts

There are hundreds of crazy, delicious, and sugary donut flavors. From more simple chocolate frosted donuts to more complex donuts like red velvet donuts. But the question is which doughnut flavor is the best? We decided to test this out. We went to Dunkin Donuts and ranked them from 1 to 10 to find out which one was the best.
Red Velvet Cake Donut The dough was very moist for a cake donut. There were white specks of sugar on the top that added a nice crunch. The icing was just too sweet for most people's liking, but if it is your type you should get it! Overall it was a 7/10.
Chocolate Frosted Donut The dough was chewy and had a good balance of sugar. The frosting was sweet and chocolatey. The sprinkles also added a nice crunch. Altogether, it was 8.5/10.
Vanilla Frosted Donut The icing was really sweet and overpowered the flavor of the donut. The vanilla flavor was also very artificial, but the dough was very fluffy. All in all, it was a 6/10.
Strawberry Frosted Donut The frosting didn't keep its fruity strawberry flavor, instead, it tasted fake and artificial. It was very sweet in a good way and the dough tasted moist, similar to the vanilla flavor. In general, it was a 7/10.
Sugar Donut The donut wasn't overly sweet despite being covered in it, and the sugar on top of it was surprisingly balanced and added a great flavor to the donut. The flavors all went well together and melted in your mouth, but weren't too complex. In the end, it was a 9/10.
The Best Donut Flavor In conclusion, after tasting all of these donuts, the sugar donut was the best donut we tried. There are probably better flavors, but if you're getting a simple treat this might be a good go-to dessert. The close runner-up for the best donut flavor was the chocolate frosted donut. This is another donut we also highly recommend. And there are also a lot of other places you can go like Doughnut Plant and Dough Doughnuts.
Here are some other opinions on the best donut flavor. “If I had to pick one I’d say Boston cream,” according to Madeline from 604.
“Probably the chocolate frosted donut,” says Arya from 605.
“I would pick strawberry donuts because the pink frosting looks cool,” says Iren from 702.
Overall most of us have very different opinions on the best donut flavor, but we hope you enjoyed some of the opinions from your fellow peers.
