    You may not have noticed them while you were looking at the ice cream, but Chaps Ice Cream has homemade cake donuts that go great with a cup of ice cream (or coffee, if you’re too cold). The blueberry is a personal favorite, but they’re all worth a try!

    2. Peanut Butter With Bacon; Duck Donuts

    Maple bacon is awesome, but to really let these bacon pieces shine you need peanut butter icing! The best part is that they use real bacon, not those dry bacon bits you put on salad.

    Others have tried and failed. I still can’t find a Boston cream donut like the ones at Dunkin’ Donuts.
