What do you get when you cross a croissant and a doughnut? A Cronut!
New Yorkers are going crazy about the Cronut – a new pastry that’s a cross between a croissant and a doughnut.

Queues of around 100 buyers form outside the tiny Manhattan shop of French chef Dominique Ansel most mornings. Some often leave empty handed as he makes only 200 to 250 Cronuts every morning and has been selling out within an hour.
Now he has limited his customers to two per person at the cash register. “A little bite of heaven. Definitely worth the calories,” said one fan, Kyra Parkhurst, of Utah.
Some have been selling them on Craigslist for up to $40, eight times Ansel’s asking price of $5 a piece.
