Pan Dulce

One morning when I was out and about I stopped at a different Wal-Mart to grab a donut. 

I was a bit confused when almost the entire case was filled with strange pastries.

 There were coconut coated ones, jelly covered ones, ones cut open to show pudding filling, and odd seashell shaped ones. Most were labeled as Pan Dulce and, from what little spanish I remember from high school, means sweet bread.  They also had some called Mexican Pink Cake which, let's face it Mexico, is nothing but slices of birthday cake with pink icing and confetti sprinkles.  

Luckily I turned the corner and found a small selection of 'normal' donuts.  

I kept thinking about the weird ones though and decided to try one next time.

I checked my regular Wal-Mart and they didn't have any!

So today when I was near that special Wal-Mart I stopped in to pick one out.

I settled on this one thinking it kinda looks like Pecan Pie filling...minus the pecans.

I don't like coconut, or pudding filling, and let's face it, those seashell ones look gross!

It was okay.  Not as sweet as a donut.  The topping was actually caramel, which was pretty good.  It was also pretty dry.  We each had a couple bites and then threw away the rest. I'm glad I finally tried it, but it's not something I want to eat again!

*I googled Mexican Pink Cake and found that apparently it's not just birthday cake with pink frosting.

It's dry birthday cake with hard pink icing.  That sounds like old cake tasty?  I think I'll skip trying that one!
