I am writing this review as I am totally disgusted by this brand and hope this reaches someone else who may have experienced the same problem. I was craving donuts as I am 12 weeks pregnant(high risk with multiple complications) so my husband brought home a bag of chocolate mini hostess donuts from their store and a bag of the new honey bun glazed donuts. The chocolate tasted fine however when I went to open the honey bun I noticed immediately they seemed very dry and hard. Turning the donut in my hand I discovered a moth! I touched it to see if it was dead and it fluttered into my kitchen. I looked in the bag and saw ANOTHER visible moth. I showed my husband who promptly trashed the product. I am very thankful I did not blindly take a bite. This was a very disgusting and unacceptable experience and I will never seek out this brand again. Both bags were properly sealed and unopened from the store with no holes or marks.

Recommendation: Do not buy them!!!!
