Ooh I have and they are the BEST, I had one in Melbourne 2 months ago, just the one mind! At the airport as I was leaving, didn't trust myself to try one before then!

Krispie Kreme donuts are to die for!! They are soft and sweet and practically melt in your mouth. We can get them fresh and hot right when they are made. AAAAH, you make me want one right now!!!
