INGREDIENTS TO MAKE ACORN DONUT HOLES
- Doughnut Holes
- Milk chocolate morsels or chocolate almond bark (about ½ cup for every 6-8 Doughnut Holes)
- Chocolate jimmies/sprinkles
- Pretzel sticks
HOW TO MAKE THIS SIMPLE DONUT RECIPE
- Prepare a plate or baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Cut each pretzel stick into six pieces. These are the stems.
- In the microwave, melt the milk chocolate morsels in a small microwave-safe bowl on high in 30-second increments, stirring well between each cycle and giving special care not to overheat the candy. If the chocolate is overheated or comes in contact with water, it will seize up and be unusable.
- Dip the cut end of the Doughnut Holes into the melted chocolate to coat about ¼ inch of the donut. Immediately dip in chocolate jimmies.
- Place a piece of pretzel stick into the middle of the doughnut side you dipped. You may need to shift the jimmies slightly to make space.
- Put the acorn cookie on the waxed paper. When all doughnuts are dipped and decorated, place them in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is set.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
