While Jack in the Box has always been known as a top spot for burgers, now the fast food chain is breaking into the pastry space by offering new Donut Holes for a limited time this summer. Sold in packs of four for just $1, the new Donut Holes are perfect for snacking or for sharing with friends.

As part of its limited-time summer menu, Jack in the Box is offering new Donut Holes and a savory [BBQ Bacon Double Cheeseburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoke-show-cheeseburgers). The Donut Holes are bite-sized balls of dough that have been deep fried and then dusted with [cinnamon sugar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-cream-donut-holes). The mini donuts are also served hot to deliver that fresh-out-of-oven taste.
