Racine kringle is enjoyed by millions of international dessert connoisseurs each year. Now a key part of the community’s traditions,kringle has put Racine County on the food map. This delectable pastry has been featured on national television, including the Food Network, the Travel Channel and the Today Show. Food critics from near and far just love it! As a New York Times food writer put it, Racine-made kringle is "the only kringle a self respecting Dane would eat."
