How to Make Acorn Donut Holes

Equipment needed for Acorn Donut Holes

• wax paper
• small bowl (microwave-safe)

Ingredients for Acorn Donut Holes

Store-Bought Donut Holes: These are small, ready-made donuts that are perfect for creating your acorn-shaped treats.

Nutella or Chocolate Frosting: Nutella is a sweet hazelnut-chocolate spread, and chocolate frosting is a creamy, chocolate-flavored topping. Both add a rich and indulgent flavor to your donut holes.

Fall Sprinkles: These are tiny, colorful decorations that bring a festive and autumn-themed touch to your treats.

Stick Pretzels: Stick pretzels are slender, salty snacks that you’ll use to create the “stems” for your acorn-shaped donut holes.

Instructions for Acorn Donut Holes Recipe

1. Dump fall sprinkles in a small bowl (I mixed two types of sprinkles together). Lay down wax paper in preparation for the assembly of the acorns.
2. Melted Nutella or chocolate frosting in the microwave in a deep, small bowl about 15-20 seconds or until just melted. Dip each donut hole halfway into Nutella/frosting, then dip in sprinkles. Place a stick pretzel, broken in half, into the top of the “acorn” and let cool on wax paper.
