Timbits are bite-sized doughnut balls sold at the Canadian Tim Hortons restaurant chain. A Timbit is supposedly made from the part of a full doughnut that is cut out to make the doughnut's hole, but in fact they are made from separate balls of dough. The treat was introduced in 1976 and is available in a selection of varieties that differs from store to store.
Other doughnut chains in Canada and the United States sell virtually identical products, often called "doughnut holes". However, due to Tim Hortons' place in Canadian culture, Timbits is often used as the generic term for these, even when they are purchased from another chain.
