Another fad baked good.

They are not baked but fried and cost $5 pre tax !

People are apparently prepared to queue for 2 hours (as from 6 am) to buy them.

What is a Cronut™?
Described by many as a half croissant, half doughnut — this pastry hybrid by Chef Dominique Ansel is taking the world by storm. After its launch on May 10, 2013, Cronut™ fans spanned the world from Berlin to Singapore, making it the most viral dessert item to date.
Please eat Cronuts™ immediately as they have a short shelf life. And if you do cut, please use a serrated knife, so as not to crush the layers. Never refrigerate these treats as the humidity from the refrigerator will cause them to go stale and soggy. Since Cronuts™ are filled with cream, we do not recommend serving them warm.

You live in a very modern community LB so I'm not surprised.

I would imagine that they are made with butter.

Is that for the basic idea of a cronut, or for the vegan version of a cronut?

 

[Calliegirl]

The basic idea, I would never actually eat one. If I'm going to eat something that small with 500 calories, it better be rich and chocolaty.
