Oh-la-la, these are scrumptious! I make them every Christmas morning — and occasionally on other special days — like Saturdays! LOL 
Just Kidding!
I wish I could say “eat these to your hearts content,” but I can’t recommend you eat these too often — I truly do just save them for special occasions. Though the fat content is fairly low (26%), they don’t pack enough nutritional punch to make them a good every day choice.
Having said that, they do make a healthy alternative to those times when you’re craving donuts! Did you know a Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spice Cake donut packs a whopping 340 calories and 18 grams of fat! And who on earth eats just ONE Krispy Kreme donut anyway? Especially when they pack them hot out of the ovens in those convenient 12 to a box containers! Just say “NO!” to Krispy Kreme!
You’ll love these … I’m 100% confident!
