There is nothing as sweet as Butler County, Ohio’s Donut Trail.  With ten amazing bakeries offering a wide assortment of sweets, I couldn’t wait to order a donut at each one.

First, I stopped by Butler County’s Visitor Bureau to pick up my complimentary passport. I was so excited to swing by Kelly’s Bakery as my first stop, eager to try their Fruity Pebbles donut. 

Located in downtown Hamilton, Ohio, I pulled up into the strip mall and could hardly find a parking spot.  Kelly’s sign, advertising “Donuts and More,” was a welcome sight as the line continued to carry on outside the door.

From a dozen pastries to specialty treats, hungry patrons couldn’t resist the wide selection of donuts and more. From crème horns to fruit-filled confections, my list continued to grow, but I just couldn’t see myself eating so many donuts that day.  Each donut was handcrafted and overflowed with toppings.

S’Mores with a generous heaping of graham crackers, marshmallows and melted chocolate.

Or decadent birthday cake with sugary frosty and colorful nonpareils.

With so many choices, I was happy to order the Fruity Pebbles donut and enjoyed every morsel of sugary cereal bits.
