Move Over, Cronut: The New 'Cruffin' Combines Croissants And Muffins (Photos)

Nowadays, it seems like chefs across the country are constantly in a race to whip up the next insane food mashup that really pushes the envelope of culinary creativity.

As our social media feeds fill up with an increasing number of over-the-top food-porn creations, no dish is safe from the frankenfood fad.

If you thought the doughnut-croissant mashup was the most glorious thing to happen in the world of hybrid pastries, brace yourself.

There's a new food creation in town, and it's kicking the passé Cronut to the back of the bakery display case.

Behold, the croissant-muffin hybrid known as none other than the cruffin.

Created by Mr. Holmes Bakehouse in San Francisco, this glorious invention takes the best parts of two delicious breakfast foods and rolls them up into the most epic morning snack of all time.

The cruffin is a mouthwatering croissant-muffin mashup that is coated in a sweet layer of sugar. But that's not all.

Hiding inside these bad boys, you'll also find a variety of drool-worthy fillings that range from passion-fruit curd to coffee crème.

Since their debut, the line to get your hands on one of these coveted confections has been absolutely insane and for good reason: These things look downright heavenly.

Plus, the cruffin is quickly becoming the food porn of choice with all those foodie photogs on Instagram.

But you can't really blame them. It's the cruffin's fault for being so damn photogenic.

Take a look at the photos below to see this tasty new food invention.

Feast your eyes on the almighty cruffin.

It's part muffin, part croissant and part of the reason you're never going back to eating either of those separately ever again.

This coffee creme-filled cruffin topped with a marshmallow is one seriously good-looking pastry.
