I was disappointed with these long johns. As other reviewers noted, they were quite dense. I also found them to be rather dry. The chocolate glaze was the only part I enjoyed.

I agree with some of the other reviewers, they are denser than I exected but it was a nice surprise as I was expecting them to be more muffin-like in texture. The denser texture makes them seem more like a donut and the chocolate glaze on top makes them an extra special treat.

i liked the recipe but i'll agree they were denser than i expected. Husband didn't like the bittersweet chocolate so would have to try a sweeter chocolate next time.

I was extremely disappointed in this recipe - I found the Long Johns to be cakey and dense. While they tasted "OK", I definitely would NOT make them again.

This is a impressive 'baked doughnut' glazed in chocolate. Basic recipe serves 8 loaves. Mini-loaf baking pans are called for. Pretty. Tasty!!!

Sounds delicious, but question the "heathy" designation. Pretty much empty calories and lots of carbs.

My crew loved them. We scooped out the center with a pepper corer and filled them with light whipped cream.

I have to agree with the person before me, do not expect the same taste as a deep fried donut but these are so yummy. I love them and will make them again!!!! I may just eat then all by myself.

I made these today with my 10 year old son. We loved them! Better than traditional long johns in our opinion. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars was because the picture was a little deceiving. Using the size loaf pans requested in the recipe, it is impossible to get 8 (the stated number of servings for this recipe) the size of the long john in the picture. They ended up about half that tall. In short, don't expect that size long john shown in the picture for the 291 calories stated in the nutrition facts.
