Reindeer Doughnuts

One of our family traditions during Christmas time is to have doughnuts and hot chocolate while we decorate our Christmas tree. A few weeks ago I was trying to think of a way to get a little more creative with this tradition and I came up with this idea. I loved how they turned out and my kids were so excited when they saw the finished product.
These are super fast and easy to make! I used glazed doughnuts, stuck some pretzels in for antlers and used a dot of white frosting for the eyes. I put a chocolate chip over the frosting and then covered doughnut holes in red candy coating for the noses. (The more candy coating you allow to drip off, the smoother your nose will be.) Once you have covered your doughnut hole with the candy coating, slide it onto the doughnuts and allow them to set for about 10-20 minutes, or until the candy coating is set. Super easy and super festive!!
