These frosted doughnuts were once reserved as a festive sweet treat, filled with whatever sugary goodness you prefer: fruity jam , delicious melty chocolate, vanilla cream… But if you’ve got some old pieces lying around that you don’t need, putting them outside on New Year’s Eve is a good way to usher in a fresh start for January 1.
