Dunkin' Donuts: Choco Nirvana


( In the Picture: Dunkin' Donuts' Choco Nirvana)

(Disclaimer: I do not own the pic. I am too lazy to take pictures. I know the rule "pics or it didn't happen. Exempt me just this one time, please? This is my first post anyways :)))

Dunkin' Donuts is one of the oldest and popular donut shops in the country. During my childhood days, Dunkin' Donuts is my favorite donut shop. Since then, it has fallen out of grace, overtaken by rivals such as Go Nuts Donuts and Krispy Kreme. Throughout the years, the company has focused on making cheaper donuts than quality donuts. Personally, their products taste like flour bread more than legit donuts. However, with its new offering of the "Premium"
donuts, Dunkin' finally presents itself like a legit donut shop. I'll give you my take on one of its "Premium" donuts: the Choco Nirvana.

Overall Rating: [ 3.6 out of 5.]

The Good: Most would be familiar with the chocolate cream and powder used, because it is from a popular brand. I forgot the brand, but it's on the tip of my tongue. :)) If I could just remember...

The Bad: FRIGGIN' TROLL POWDER! Handle it with care, it spills, scatters, WHATEVER $!#@!. :)) Also, the appearance is not appealing at all. It looks very cheap. If it was not a chocolate variant, I might have snubbed it.

Comments:

Taste: [ 4 out of 5.] - Despite the non-alluring looks of the donut, the taste is a great surprise! The donut does not taste cheap AT ALL! Like I said, I believe that the chocolate cream and powder is from a popular brand. It truly is a chocolate wonder. :)

Price/Affordability: [ 3 out of 5.] - The donut costs 45 pesos. If you would buy a drink (coffee, maybe) you would easily reach 100 pesos. Almost the same price as other competitors' donuts that taste better.

Satiety: [ 4 out of 5.] - While the donut is costly, the serving is generous. Choco Nirvana is as big as the Big Dunk variant. Sharing the donut (along with the price) with someone (special, probably? :)) will make it very much fulfilling. :))

Quality: [ 3 out of 5.] - While the chocolate cream and powder tastes good, the dough is just so-so. Also, the cream is not spread out evenly, and it annoys me when I eat the dough without chocolate. Why the heck would I order Choco Nirvana if I would just eat the dough? Weird. :))

Satisfaction: [ 4 out of 5. ] - Not the best donut I tasted, but definitely a far cry from its usual variants. If its a chocolate fix you are looking for, Choco Nirvana is worth trying. :)
