B Sweet Dessert Bar Makes Heat-Sealed Donuts Called 'Halos'

— July 10, 2017 — Lifestyle
Los Angeles' B Sweet Dessert Bar is now serving a refreshing summer treat that puts a fresh new spin on ice cream sandwiches.

'Halos' are the name of the ice cream-filled donut treats that are being served by the destination for sweets. Since a scoop of ice cream is heat-sealed inside of a glazed donut, the treats are both hot and refreshingly cool at once. As such, each Halo can be enjoyed with a range of ice cream flavors at its center and is made freshly for each order.

Over the past few years, cafes and dessert bars have been competing to create standout food hybrids, including everything from cookie dough ice cream cones to muffin-croissant crossovers that offer a mash-up of familiar flavors and textures.
