It might be a while until Greggs reopens, so if you're craving something sweet and delicious - this is the recipe for you.
Greggs brands the glazed treats as "delectable doughnut twists that are just as yummy as they sound".
The bakery chain also says they are "perfectly twisted with a delicious glaze of icing [and] go brilliantly with a hot drink. And they’re perfect for snacking on the move."
