The hybrid food craze really took off after cronuts were brought into the world.

Here’s another one – MufNutz, which are a muffin/doughnut hybrid.

MufNutz are from the brand Great Temptations.

Really, they are simply a muffin coated in cinnamon sugar and filled with raspberry jam.

That isn’t a secret – it’s splashed across the packaging. So thankfully Great Temptations aren’t trying to make them out to be anything more than they are.

But are they any good?

Pre-packaged cakes and muffins are not something I’d normally eat.

For packaged muffins, the Great Temptations MufNutz are not too bad.

They are not over-sized, as a lot of packaged muffins tend to be. Instead you get two in a pack – one now, and one later… or damn later and just have them both now.

The raspberry jam has a nice tang to it. A note on the packaging says they are ‘Baked, Not Fried’, so that’s got to be some sort of a plus..

Can I recommend them? For what they are, they’re OK.

I also tried the Brownies, which are muffins with a brownie flavour. They could have given them a more creative name, like they did with MufNutz.

‘MufNies’ perhaps.

‘Mownies’?  

‘Brownins’?

I’m starting to see why they just went with ‘Brownies’.

Great Temptations MufNutz and Brownies are available around the place – I’ve seen them in various locations in North Sydney.
