One that only requires 4 ingredients and no baking, but that all your family and friends are going to love.


A recipe, so simple to throw together, that you can even get the kids involved.

Ingredients you will need:

  • Glazed Donut Holes
  • Chocolate Frosting
  • Sprinkles
  • Pretzel Sticks


Directions for making Donut Hole Acorns

  • Spread approximately a teaspoon of chocolate frosting to the top ¼ of a donut hole.


  • Put sprinkles in a small bowl and dip in the doughnut hole covering the frosting potion with sprinkles.



  • Break pretzel sticks in half and press a half piece into the top of the donut hole.





Notes:

You can dip the pretzel stick into a little bit of frosting before pressing it into the top of the “acorn” to help it stay in place.
