Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 powdered donuts
- 2 chocolate donuts
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup icing
- 1 carrot for nose
- 2 pretzel sticks for arms
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and place them on a clean work surface. Ensure the donuts are fresh and at room temperature.
- Select a large white plate or serving platter to create your snowman design.
- Start by placing three powdered donuts vertically, stacking them to create the snowman's body from bottom to top. Arrange from largest at the bottom to smallest at the top.
- Use two chocolate donuts to create the snowman's hat. Place one chocolate donut slightly askew on the top of the white donut stack to represent a tilted winter hat.
- Carefully insert the carrot vertically into the center of the top white donut to create the snowman's nose.
- Use mini chocolate chips to create eyes and buttons. Gently press them into the white donuts to form a face and decorative details.
- Insert pretzel sticks at the sides of the middle donut to create arms, angling them slightly outward.
- Using icing, add additional decorative details or secure any loose elements. You can create a scarf effect or additional texture with the icing.
- Serve immediately to preserve the fresh appearance and prevent donuts from becoming stale.
- Take a photo to capture your festive breakfast creation before enjoying!
Tips
- Choose fresh, soft donuts to ensure easy assembly and the best structural integrity for your snowman.
- Work on a large, clean white plate to make your snowman stand out and look more festive.
- Use room temperature donuts to prevent cracking or breaking during assembly.
- For the most stable structure, stack donuts from largest to smallest, creating a balanced base.
- Have all your decorative ingredients (chocolate chips, carrot, pretzels) ready before you start building.
- Use icing as "glue" to help secure elements if they're not staying in place.
- Work slowly and carefully when inserting the carrot nose and pretzel arms to maintain the snowman's shape.
- Consider having extra donuts on hand in case of any assembly mishaps.
- Take photos quickly, as the donuts can start to settle or dry out after preparation.
- Make this a fun family activity by letting kids help with decoration and design!
