The best part about donut holes is that since they come from the middle of the donut, all the calories actually stay in the donut, making the donut hole a completely free food!!! Ok...that's not true at all...BUT...these bite-sized donut holes are a truly satisfying little puffy treat that is as tasty as it is light, sweet, and fun.
