Christmas Donuts
These adorable Christmas Donuts, designed to look like Rudolph, are easy to make and guaranteed to be a hit this holiday season!
Servings: 12 donuts
Cost: $10.24
Equipment
- Medium bowl microwave-safe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chocolate melting wafers see note 1
- 12 donuts maple or chocolate glazed
- 12 donut holes old-fashioned or powdered
- 12 mini pretzel twists
- 12 red M&M’s
Instructions
- Add chocolate melts or finely chopped chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst until nicely melted. Once melted and smooth, use a spatula to transfer every bit of chocolate into a small plastic bag. I use a cup to hold the plastic bag open so I can scoop the chocolate right inside. Seal the bag without air and cut off the tip.
- Set out all the donuts and pipe 2 closed eye shapes on each donut.
- Gently press a donut hole into the center of each donut. Use any leftover chocolate to pipe a small amount on the back of each M&M and attach them to the center of each donut hole. Break a pretzel in half and press each half gently into either side of the donut.

Notes
Note 1: I recommend using chocolate made for melting like Baker's, Lindt, or Ghiradelli baking bars or good quality melting wafers.

Storage: These donuts will not store well; it’s best to eat them the day they're made.
