How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger cake donuts, these are significantly smaller, making them ideal for portion control or as a sampler. The pumpkin spice flavoring is a seasonal variation, offering a distinct taste profile not found in standard glazed or chocolate donuts. Their texture is generally softer and more cake-like than yeast-raised donuts.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, keep any remaining donuts in their original packaging, sealed tightly. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can alter their texture. Consume within a few days of opening for the best quality.
