How To Make Cute Snowman Donuts
Step 1. Skewer donuts: Thread three mini powdered donuts onto a kabob stick.
Step 2. Nose and scarf: Insert a candy corn for the snowman's nose. Wrap a red rope candy around the neck as a scarf.
Step 3. Attach eyes: Wet candy eyes and place them on the top donut; powder helps them stick. You can also use white frosting or white icing as the "glue."
Step 4. Create mouth: Use mini chocolate chips to form a smiling mouth.
