If you walk into any Dunkin' Donuts anywhere in America, you'll see a veritable who's who of classic donut varieties. There's glazed! There's an old-fashioned! It's pretty much a given that you'll find something to fit your fancy, and when you bring a box of them back to the office, everyone invariably chows down on their favorite, leaving no time to compare and contrast their flavors, texture, or quality of dough. Dammit, coworkers, I just want to discuss the mouthfeel of that Boston Kreme!
15. Mother's Heart
The Mother’s Heart is a seasonal offering, featuring strawberry frosting and a “kreme” filling with heart-shaped sprinkles on top. Our judges found it to be too busy and far too sugary. They were, however, called “cute”.

14. Bavarian Kreme
Despite the fact that this powdered sugar-dusted donut is filled with cream, our tasters found it dry and crusty due to the donut’s cakey composition and a rather sparse distribution of the cream. The two textures worked well together, but that didn't lift this donut up to the heights of some of the others.
Best quote: "To be honest, it has a similar aftertaste to processed wine. It lingers on your palate and doesn’t go away." - Chad
13. Chocolate Frosted with Sprinkles
With a straightforward presentation and concept, the chocolate frosted was a little too simple. The texture was a bit on the crusty side, and our tasters thought it could’ve used a little more of a candy crunch from the sprinkles to balance out the overall profile. Also, there wasn’t enough chocolate, which is weird for a chocolate donut.
Best quote: "Could definitely use some more chocolate." - Corey
12. Strawberry Frosted with Sprinkles
This donut suffered from the same problems that plagued its chocolate-frosted brethren, except for the fact that the strawberry frosting was deemed “less offensive” and more “perfumey”, in a relatively decent, lingering way.
Best quote: "Oh my god. Tastes like my Strawberry Shortcake dolls used to smell." - Karen
