Cronuts!

Everyone has been talking about cronuts lately. We found out about a Philly bakery that makes them (well, technically they make a knockoff cronut, since only the original NYC bakery makes official ones), but the first time we attempted to get them was a failure - we went on a Sunday morning, and they don't make them on weekends. You know, because why would you make a popular breakfast item on the two days of the week when people have time for a nice bakery breakfast? Anyway, we vowed to be back, and yesterday we finally lived up to that vow:

CRONUTS

Unsurprisingly, they were really, really good. They were also heavier than I had expected - they are filled with a dense, delicious creamy goo of some sort. I also didn't anticipate that they would be rolled in cinnamon sugar, which was the icing on the cake... or the cinnamon sugar on the cronut.

I'm pretty sure that I just consumed my caloric allotment for the entire weekend, possibly the week. It was worth it.
