New shop featuring hand-made donuts opens on Dixie Highway in time for National Donut Day
Coinciding with National Donut Day, the new Dixie Hwy Donuts in West Palm Beach will celebrate their grand opening on Friday, June 6. This new mecca for the sacred, circular pastry is located on South Dixie Highway about midway between Southern and Forest Hill Boulevards and had a soft opening May 30. The new restaurant is owned and operated by donut veteran Sarah Callis. Definitely not her first foray into the game, Callis has been perfecting her craft for over 25 years and got her start at the iconic, nearly 100-year-old Dixie Cream Donuts in Fort Pierce. Making all of their donuts by hand at the new shop, Callis said they use same yeast dough recipe that the popular Fort Pierce store has been using since 1929. Callis described donuts made using yeast-raised dough as "fluffy, lightweight, heavenly." This is not accomplished without putting in the time and effort. "Yeast donuts are actually a very hard craft. We make them by hand every single night... it's what sets our donuts apart." Honing her skills for years at the shop in Fort Pierce, Callis eventually moved to Pinehurst, North Carolina. There for several years, she opened and ran Southern Angel Donut Company before eventually moving back to Fort Pierce and purchasing Dixie Cream Donuts. Unfortunately, her purchase coincided with the pandemic and she ended up selling the business back to the original owner and set her sights south. Callis said that her two adult daughters still work at the store. Dixie Hwy Donuts will feature 25-plus varieties at all times. In addition to many traditional glazed, cake and filled donuts, they will also have several specialty donuts including the peach cobbler, strawberry shortcake, M&M, Fruity Pebbles, Samoa's, maple bacon, cinnamon rolls, and apple fritters. Callis said the "Apple fritter is hands down one of our most popular sellers." Dixie Hwy Donuts owner Sarah Callis says their apple fritter is a top seller and is often the first thing they sell out of. Get there early! In addition to over two dozen varieties of donuts, Dixie Hwy Donuts will also offer milkshakes and smoothies. Among those milkshakes: Cookies & Cream and the Sin-A-Bun made with vanilla ice cream, crushed cinnamon toast, chocolate and caramel drizzle and whipped cream. Though Callis is confident on the donut side, she said the milkshake idea was her business partner's. Knowing how busy the donut business can get she laughed about her business partner saying "You better pull your pants on… it's about to get crazy." Callis said "I'm very excited to be in West Palm Beach... very blessed and grateful."

The new flavour causing all the excitement is Cookies & Cream — and shoppers can't get enough. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 At just 50p a bar, it's no surprise shoppers are filling their baskets fast Credit: Facebook / Newfoodsuk The sweet deal was shared on Facebook, where one user posted: 'Cookies & Cream Lindt Chocolate Bars spotted at B&M Stores 50p each!' The post quickly racked up comments, with excited shoppers tagging friends to spread the news. One fan said: 'I love cookies and cream,' while another added: 'Ooo I like Lindt xxx.' Many vowed to head straight to their nearest B&M to stock up while they could. Read more on Money BARGAIN FIND B&M shoppers fill baskets with household essentials costing £1 instead of £29 At just 50p a bar, it's no surprise shoppers are filling their baskets fast. Lindt's reputation for smooth, melt-in-the-mouth chocolate has long made it a fan favourite and this new flavour is no exception. It's not the first time Lindt lovers have scored a bargain. Amazon recently slashed the price of Lindt's Lindor Assorted Easter Egg Gift Set from £13 to just £7.68 – more than £5 cheaper than Sainsbury's. Savvy shoppers didn't waste any time snapping up the deal, with one happy customer saying: 'These were excellent, and two of us ate and enjoyed them until we finished the box. "Highly recommended.' In another treat for choc fans, Amazon has also cut the price of giant 1kg bags of Lindt truffles. The bags, packed with around 80 individually wrapped truffles, have dropped from £30 to £21.38, just in time for Easter. Perfect for parties, egg hunts, or a cheeky treat for yourself, the bargain bags have been flying off the shelves. One shopper said: 'Love these. Such smooth and delicious chocolate at a great price.' Meanwhile, Lindt has made an even bigger splash with the opening of a huge new flagship store in London. Located opposite Piccadilly Circus tube station, the store boasts the UK's biggest pick 'n' mix station and is packed with luxury chocolate treats. Shoppers can even try Dubai-style chocolate bars for £10 and grab a Lindt-flavoured coffee or ice cream from the café counter. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
