Stop for the Red Stripes

If you are on Oahu and you see one of these trucks STOP! Leonard's Bakery hot malasadas are something you should not miss. Malasadas are little donut puffs rolled in sugar you can eat plain or with delicious chocolate, haupia (coconut custard) or vanilla custard (my favorite) fillings. They are melt in your mouth delicious.

You can visit Leonard's Bakery's two storefront locations or trucks are all over the island and on the web site you can find their scheduled stops. Trucks are frequently found in the Foodland parking lot in Laie, next to the Old Navy at the Waikele Outlets, and in Kaneohe at the mall.

If you can't get to Hawaii anytime soon try making them with the official Leonard's Maladasas Recipe from Foodnetwork.com. My mouth is watering just thinking about them.
