Reindeer Donut Skewers
These reindeer donut skewers are a playful twist on Christmas donuts and come together in minutes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can turn store-bought mini donuts into Rudolph and his friends.
Equipment
- 8 Wooden skewers (6 inch)
Ingredients
- 24 mini chocolate glazed donuts
- 10 to 15 mini pretzels twists
- 16 candy eyes
- 8 M&M’s (red for Rudolph, brown for his friends)
- 2 tbsp marshmallow fluff
- 8 Reese’s miniature cups
- 8 Twizzlers
Instructions
- Thread three mini donuts on each skewer, leaving a little room at both ends.
- Cut or Snap pretzels in half to create antlers. Gently press a piece into each side of the top donut.
- Spread a small amount of marshmallow fluff on the flat side of a Reese’s cup, then stick it onto the bottom half of the top donut (with the wide side facing down).
- Dip each M&M in marshmallow fluff and press it into the center of the Reese’s to form the nose.
- Add the candy eyes just above the Reese’s, securing them with a dot of marshmallow fluff.
- Soften Twizzlers in the microwave in 10-second bursts until bendable. Wrap one around the space between the first and second donut to look like a scarf.
- Allow the Twizzler to firm back up before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Have extra pretzels on hand as some may break when forming the antlers.
- Microwave the twizzlers in 10 sec intervals checking in between till it's soft enough to be used. Be careful not to melt it completely.
- These skewers can be assembled a few hours ahead of time. Keep them in a cool spot so the chocolate doesn’t melt.
