PRODUCT: Jolie’s Kronies, Cousin Of The Cronut
|
If you’ve been hankering for one of Dominique Ansel’s famous Cronuts but are neither willing nor able to wait in line at 5 a.m., we can recommend an excellent subsitute: Jolie’s Kronies, made by a Bronx baker.
You don’t have to wait for them. You can order them by phone and send a messenger. The original Cronut from Dominique Ansel Bakery is made in a small SoHo kitchen that can produce only 250 Cronuts a day. The national hype has lines wrapping around the block. By contrast, Enrico’s Bakery, maker of Jolie’s Kronies, has a large facility and the capacity to make as many Kronies as the market demands. The New York Daily News called the Kronie “life changing.” After eating a Boston Cream Kronie, we’d go so far as to say “It doesn’t get better than this.” |
 The appearance is simple; the flavor is heavenly. Photo of Boston Cream Kronie courtesy Sal’s Bakery. |

Jolie’s Kronies are not a replica of the Cronut, but a different hybrid of a croissant and a cream doughnut. There’s a Jolie’s Sweet Creations kiosk in the Holiday Shops at Bryant Park through January 5th. It’s just inside the 40th Street entrance (between 5th and 6th Avenues), by the carousel. They’ve offered a 25% discount any Wednesday if you mention THE NIBBLE. Kronies will be a hit at any holiday event. Yum, yum!
