To celebrate the First Day of Fall today and inspired by this cute idea at Family Fun, the kids and I made some super cute acorn treats out of donut holes.
 |
| Aren't they cute? |
They were really easy to make and the kids loved helping.
Here's what you need:
* Donut holes
* chocolate frosting (or peanut butter)
* chopped nuts (or sprinkles)
* pretzel sticks
Here's what you do (it really doesn't even need explaining!)
1. Dip your donut hole in the frosting,
then in the nuts or sprinkles...
2. Add a piece of a pretzel stick as a stem...
3. Put them on a cute plate and enjoy!
*NOTE* ~ We used the boxed glazed donut holes, which, although delicious, had the tendency to crumble a bit when we were dipping them. When I do it again, I may use some "sturdier" donuts.

ReplyDeleteI made these yesterday with my kids using DD cinnamon munchkins. They worked out great. Perfect texture and color. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteMy 22month old daughter and I made these for my moms b-day. since my daughter cant have nuts we used gold sprinkles. soo cute everyone loved them and they were gone within the first 10mins! thanks for sharing

I'm wondering what an example of a sturdier donut might be for this ?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great idea! Instead of the peanuts due to allergies in some children I used the silver sprinkles for my son's VPK class this week. They are going on their field trip tomorrow to the park to collect acorns and leaves..so I thought this would be a great snack for him to bring on his day. Well we did bring them in yesterday and the class and 2 teachers absolutely loved them!!! My 4 yr old son came home after school and told me that his friends thanked him 4 times!!! What a hit!!! Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteYay. I 'm so glad they were a hit! (And doesn't it feel great to impress so many people with something that was actually quite easy to make? ) :)
