Well I have finally got my hands on the new Jonuts, apparently the next big thing. This is the latest in product names to portmanteau. We’ve seen Cronuts (croissant doughnuts) but now we have Jaffa Cake doughnuts, introducing the Jonut. Orange as a flavour is having a great year, it is the the new salted caramel in terms of popularity and trend.
Inside the box were four individually wrapped Jonuts. I was tentative about this product though, the best part of a Jaffa cake is the orange jelly layer. On an original Jaffa cake the chocolate is a thin coating and is ok, the base is a slightly dry sponge but it works because of the magic of the fruit jelly. Lets see if these Jonuts are the same.
The Jonut is flat and topped with the same Jaffa Cake chocolate you expect, it cracks nicely when you bite in. There is no layer of jelly under the chocolate but there is a ring of it inside the sponge, it adds all the magic to the flavour. The sponge itself isn’t quite as moist as a regular donut but it is better than a regular Jaffa Cake. Despite the odds these work, and they work well; sponge chocolate and that zingy sweet orange flavour. Lovely with a cup of coffee as an afternoon treat.
