Snowman donuts are the perfect way to build an edible snowman for a fun and festive holiday Christmas treat. 

It’s wintertime and one of the first thing that comes to mind is snow and building a snowman. Not everyone gets to experience a full on winter with the fluffy white snow, so we decided we’d cozy up and make our own Snowman Donuts for a cute holiday breakfast. 

These snowman donuts would be the perfect addition to a cup of hot cocoa, or even our whipped hot chocolate.

How do make Snowman Donuts?

Carefully slide 2 of the mini donuts onto a long wooden skewer. It’s helpful to use the freshest donuts so they don’t crack when skewering them. 

Slide the donut hole onto the top, resembling the snowman’s head.

Skewer the miniature Reese’s for the hat.

Place a candy corn, wide side down into the top donut hole for nose. 

Place a rainbow straw behind and in between the donut hole and top body donut, bring around to the front and tie a knot to resemble a scarf.

Break pretzel stick in half, pressing and placing one on each side of the top body donut to resemble the arms.

Place Sixlets candy, one in the middle of each body to resemble buttons.

Melt candy melts according to directions and with a piping bag and small round tip, pipe 2 eyes and a mouth on the snowman.
