Copycat Krispy Kreme Sorting Hat Doughnut
Sweet, playful, and full of suspense.
This doughnut’s fun isn’t in the chocolate glaze on top — it’s in the surprise. A hidden frosting center reveals your “house” with each bite. It’s more about the reveal than flavour, but the smooth chocolate glaze gives just enough sweetness to keep it worth the wait.
