Tim Hortons Nanaimo Bar Donut

With Canada celebrating its 150^th birthday this year (1867 confederation), Tim Hortons has decided to partake in the celebration by releasing Canadian food favourites.  Of course I was most interested in the nanaimo bar donut; a delicious brownie-like treat that was invented in Nanaimo, B.C.  The Tim Hortons version is also delicious and manages to capture the right balance of chocolate and custard.

Toronto Blue Jays Tim Hortons Donut

I went to buy my usual double double (2 cream, 2 sugar) coffee today at Tim Hortons, when I noticed they had this beauty; a Toronto Blue Jays donut.  This donut is similar to their Boston cream donut (vanilla custard filled), except the Blue Jays donut has vanilla frosting and sprinkles (black and white).  My favourite part of this donut is the beautiful Toronto Blue Jays logo at the top.  The donut is delicious and it's nice to know that Timmies is a Jays fan.

Heart-Shaped Tragedy

According to Tim Hortons there’s no better way to say I love you, than with their new heart-shaped donut.  Well there’s no one else I love more than myself, so I decided to give myself this donut.  The donut is filled with raspberry filling, is dipped in chocolate, and is topped with strawberry sprinkles.  After just one bite, I wanted to puke and I threw this Frankenstein donut out.  This thing tastes nasty, the chocolate and raspberry doesn’t mix very well.  It reminded me of those expired chocolates you find in a convenience store that are fruit filled, and taste tangy.  Sorry Tim Hortons but you broke my heart this Valentines.

Timmies did however do a great job on releasing these new limited edition gift cards.  I of course was able to score a Leafs Tim card.  With the successful season (compared to other years) the team is having this year, these might end up being a collector’s piece.

S’mores Donut

This has been a wonderful summer, and nothing defines summer as much as S’mores.  To think such simple ingredients can create a wonderful snack is amazing.  Just in case you don’t know what S’mores are; well they are charbroiled marshmallows that are put on top of milk chocolate and then sandwiched between two graham crackers.  The outcome is a messy, gooey, melted chocolate snack that is delicious.  I didn’t think it could get much better than that, but then Tim Horton’s came in this summer and introduced the S’mores Donut.  The donut consists of a chocolate donut that is dipped in chocolate and then pieces of marshmallows, milk chocolate and graham cracker are added on top.  This donut was delicious and unfortunately, just like summer only lasted a limited time.
