Most donut sticks are made from a cake-style dough that includes ingredients like enriched flour, sugar, vegetable oils, eggs, and leavening agents. They're usually coated with a sweet glaze for extra flavor.

• May contain milk and soy
• Often include artificial flavors and preservatives for freshness

Donut sticks are sometimes referred to as 'snack cakes,' 'glazed bars,' or 'breakfast pastries' depending on the brand or region. While the shape and glaze set them apart from traditional ring donuts, they're still considered part of the donut family.

• Look for names like 'glazed donut bars' or 'dipp'n sticks'

If you're searching online or in-store, try different terms to find the variety you want.

To keep donut sticks fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If they're individually wrapped, leave them in their packaging until you're ready to eat.
