This time last year, cronuts were the new food trend everyone was talking about but that needs to step aside and make room for another calorie inducing treat – the wonut!

A small café in the US has become a hit because of their ingenious decision to combine a sweet waffle and doughnut, in the most delicious and unhealthy way possible.

The wonut comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes and there is no limit when it comes to flavours.

The wonut is made with a thicker than usual waffle batter. It’s first cooked in a waffle iron, then fried and dipped in a sweet glaze.

And, like the cronut, we reckon it won’t be long until this delicious treat will be hitting our Irish shores.
