The interior is soft and fluffy.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Jack-in-the-Box-Donut-Holes-Innards.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jack in the Box Donut Holes Innards\" title=\"Jack in the Box Donut Holes Innards.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I pull them out of the sleeve, they\u2019re not completely coated in cinnamon sugar. I imagine a lot of it is at the bottom of the envelope they come in, but even with 50-60% coverage, they still have a bold sweet and cinnamon flavor that\u2019s not overly sweet. There\u2019s also a slight greasiness, but the sugary coating makes me forget about it. If you\u2019ve had a cinnamon sugar donut before, you\u2019ll have an idea of what these taste like. They aren\u2019t breaking any new ground here.<\/p>\n<p>But these taste slightly better than a lot of cinnamon sugar donuts I\u2019ve had. Maybe because they\u2019re served warm or maybe, and I don\u2019t have any scientific data to back this up, they taste better because I spent only a dollar to obtain them. I think I should write a grant proposal to get funds so I can obtain that data. Any decent grant amount would get me a lot of data and, more importantly, a lot of Jack in the Box Donut Holes.<\/p>\n<p>The only real issue I have with these is their shape. The stereotypical donut hole is spherical. Only one of the four in my order was like a donut planet. The other three were round, but they were a little flattened, making them look more like hash brown rounds or mini donuts without the holes in them. Yes, I just called them donut holes that look like mini donuts without holes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Jack-in-the-Box-Donut-Holes-Waffle-Lines.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jack in the Box Donut Holes Waffle Lines\" title=\"Jack in the Box Donut Holes Waffle Lines.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh, are you wondering what those marks are on them?
