I have heard wonderful things about Kringles, and heard that the best place to try one was at O&H. I was also told that raspberry is the way to go. I bought one, $9, no tax, and went to wolf it down. The first bite made my mouth grimace because of the level of sweetness. I then looked at the ingredients. Second ingredient: Cane Granulated Sugar. Further down we see natural flavor as part of the Butter Margarine, Powdered Sugar, Brown Sugar, Margarine which again contains natural flavor, Fondant (sugar, corn syrup), Sugared Egg Yolks, Natural Flavoring, Molasses, Corn Starch, Guar Gum, Gellan Gum, Sodium Benzoate. These are the ingredients that made me cringe, maybe that's why it's a kringle. Then I look at the nutritional information. One server, one 12th of the circle, so basically a few bites, contains 20g of sugar. That's 5 teaspoons! But who's going to eat just a tiny bit of it? By comparison, a serving size of Oreos is 2 cookies, and has 13g of sugar. I have a feeling that if half the sugar was used, the cringle would taste much better. For those that have never had a kringle, here's how you can make an approximation at home. Take a croissant. Fill it with jam of choice, several tablespoons of the jam, and add some fondant icing on top.
