Make a fun fall treat for your family with these simple and cute acorn donut holes!
Equipment
- Bowls
- Parchment Paper
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 1 container Donut Holes plain
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips
- Nut Topping as desired
- Sprinkles as desired
- Pretzel Sticks handful
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare your nut topping and sprinkles by placing them into separate small bowls close to the baking sheet.
- Break apart your pretzel sticks into halves or thirds. These will be used for the stems of the acorn.
- Place your chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into a microwave safe bowl. Heat in your microwave for 15 second increments, stirring in between. Repeat this until the chips are just melted, with some small non melted chunks still left. Mix together until the remaining chunks melt and mix in.
- Take your donut holes and begin dipping one portion of the donut hole into the melted chips to just cover one portion of the donut. If needed, slightly twist the donut hole back and forth to create a smooth line of melted chocolate. Carefully pull the donut hole out of the chocolate twisting any chocolate drips back down to the donut hole.
- Gently dip your donut hole into the prepared topping bowls to coat them as much as you'd like. Make sure not to completely coat the chocolate with your first topping, it won't leave room for additional toppings to stick.
- Take a piece of the pretzel stick and stick it through the middle of the coating and down into the donut hole until it sticks out about a 1/4".
- Place the donut hole onto the baking sheet and repeat until your container of donut holes is gone, or until you have an amount of these treats that you are satisfied with.
- Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden again. This will take at least 30 minutes.
