Reindeer Donut Holes

If you’re looking for a quick and easy Christmas treat idea, whip up some of these adorable reindeer donut holes! They’re simple enough for the kids to make with you and make a fun addition to any Christmas table. If you’re giving them away as gifts or making them ahead of time, you can always wrap them up with a little cellophane too.

MATERIALS

chocolate donut holes
candy eyes
red M&M’s or other candy
paper straw or candy stick
cookie icing {you want to make sure it’s icing that will harden}
brown pipe cleaners

INSTRUCTIONS

Press down slightly on a donut hole to flatten the bottom a bit. Add the eyes and nose with the cookie icing and allow to harden. TIP: Lay the donut hole down when it’s hardening so you don’t have gravity pulling the candies down.
If you are NOT wrapping the donut holes: Cut a paper straw in half. Tie a brown pipe cleaner around it snugly keeping the ends of the pipe cleaner the same length. Wrap the ends around a pencil to form the antlers. Add the straw to the top of the donut hole once the icing is dry.
If you ARE wrapping the donut holes: Cut a paper straw in half. Add the straw to the top of the donut hole once the icing is dry. Wrap in a square piece of clear cellophane and tie together with a brown pipe cleaner {pull it nice and tight!}. Wrap the ends around a pencil to form the antlers and bend into desired shape.

You could even make these guys for a fun night of watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. They take hardly any time to make. You could probably finish them before the water finished boiling for the hot chocolate! 🙂
