This is a promotion in the UK to encourage people to try a new Nutella filled Krispy Kreme donut that will start being widely available May 27. The money from the promotional donut sales will go to charity. The video description offers more information:

Krispy Kreme, the American purveyor of all things doughnut, has unveiled an ATM-style contraption in London's Holborn to activate its new Nutty Chocolatta flavour.

The limited edition doughy treat is filled with the popular Nutella sandwich spread and, according a 'leaked memo' PR stunt from the brand, is set to be available nationwide on 27 May.

Krispy Kreme is giving fans the chance to preview the Nutty Chocolatta until 21 May by way of the Hole in the Wall contraption.

Devised by Devries Slam and delivered by creative technology agency Kerve, the system allows passers-by to touch their contactless card to a reader and pay two pounds for their individually-wrapped doughnut. This is presented on a cushion accessed only when a door opens after payment.All proceeds from the activation will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust.

These tasty "donut cones" are actually based on a traditional Slovak pastry called the Trdelník. The dough is shaped into a tall, hollow cylinder and then grilled to perfection. Sometimes they're called 'Chimney cakes' and they are usually topped with sugar and walnuts.

Once people started adding soft serve ice cream they became absolutely famous. Hopefully it'll only be a matter of time before this latest fatty food craze is available everywhere.

The Doughnut Project in New York just posted their new creation on Instagram. It's an Everything Doughnut. They explain exactly what that means in their image description:

This is our new Everything Doughnut: Cream Cheese Glaze with Sesame Seeds, Poppy Seeds, Pepitas, Garlic & Sea Salt. 😋🍩

So... 👍 or 👎? Is this savory doughnut an affront to all doughnut principles we pastry lovers hold sacred? Will it end up tasting like a sickly sweet, slightly soggy Everything Bagel? How are we really supposed to spell it, 'doughnut' or 'donut'? These questions and many more have yet to be answered. Maybe this will become the new cronut, who knows? Only time will tell. 

Comedian Mitch Hedberg died in 2005 but his jokes remain popular today. In honor of the late comedian's birthday, a fan left this clever gift. It's a donut and the proof of its purchase to appease the skeptics out there. 

One of his most famous jokes is about getting a receipt with a donut which is what this tribute is referring to. 

According to Thrillest the waffles are deep-fried in vegetable shortening and dipped in sugar, marshmallow, maple, or chocolate glazes. Add toppings like sprinkles, granola, or chocolate shavings, and voila: wonut! When will the madness stop?
