Sweet and Salty Crunch Doughnut – $4.50
This passholder-only doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut consists of a doughnut dipped in Nutella, topped with chocolate hazelnut icing, caramel sauce, Maldon salt, and sugar sprinkles. We were unsure what to expect from this doughnut with Nutella and hazelnut icing.
Our first reaction to this Sweet and Salty Crunch Doughnut was concern about its messiness. That concern quickly proved warranted, as we found ourselves with plenty of Nutella on our fingers. That stands as an important detail since we were using a fork and a knife to eat it. In a video we made about this doughnut, evidence of this looked apparent. In addition, the doughnut coating started to melt quickly when it was only 82 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Sweet and Salty Crunch Doughnut itself offered exactly what the menu description claimed. Fans of hazelnuts will enjoy this doughnut. This doughnut looked larger than the usual doughnuts at Voodoo Doughnut. However, it is not as large as the ones at Everglazed Donuts at Disney Springs. This yeast-raised doughnut worked very well Voodoo Doughnut at Universal CityWalk Orlando. Still, this place sometimes struggles with the yeast-raised style doughnuts.
After our initial bite, we found the doughnut unremarkable. It provides the sweet component but lacks the salty aspect. The candy sprinkles get overwhelmed by the hazelnut flavors. Despite that, this makes a quality option to order. There is nothing really wrong with this doughnut. Still, unless you are a huge hazelnut fan, this will not become your favorite limited-time doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut.
The Sweet and Salty Crunch Donut will only be at Voodoo Doughnut through May 22, 2025. For more theme park dining reviews, visit MSM News every weekday at noon for our latest one. As always, eat like you mean it!
