Servings: 12 servings
Calories: 230kcal
Equipment
- Toothpicks
- Styrofoam Cone
- small pain brush
Ingredients
- 48 donut holes
- variety of sprinkles
- corn syrup
Instructions
- Working one at a time, use a small paintbrush to paint a little bit of corn syrup on the front of the donut hole then dip the wet area into a bowl of sprinkles (or sprinkle them on by hand). Set it aside and decorate the rest of the donut holes.
- Place the styrofoam tree shape on the middle of a plate.
- Pierce the donut hole with a toothpick then stick the other end of the toothpick into the bottom of the styrofoam.
- Add a second donut hole and toothpick to the cone as close to the first one as you can. Complete the first row.
- For the second row, place the toothpick and donut hole just above where two donut holes in the first row meet. I like to offset the donut holes between the rows.
- Continue up to the top of the form.
- Add any additional decorations as needed.
Notes
My nutrition couldn't calculate correctly. But there are approximately 55 calories in a donut hole. There are 57 calories in a TBSP of corn syrup but you will use way less than that on each donut hole. Sprinkles also may have a few calories.
You can make this with donut holes bought from a donut store or the boxed kind found in the grocery store, although more cake-like donuts may crumble more easily.
