Christmas is creeping up awfully fast this year. If you’re like me, then you’re inspired to make holiday themed goodies, but don’t have a lot of extra time to spend in the kitchen baking up treats from scratch. Don’t get me wrong, I always make up a few batches of Christmas cookies and the occasional pie around the holidays, but anything extra is seriously a tight squeeze with wrapping presents, decorating and meal planning— it’s amazing that I even have time for that!
This year I’m taking a simpler approach and I’m putting together a few fun, kid-friendly recipes that take no time at all to prepare. The first treat I’m making are these extremely cute powdered sugar Snowman Donut Pops— with no cooking involved and only a few ingredients, they’ll be a hit at any holiday party or get together.
Snowman Donut Pops Recipe
- 18 Mini Powdered Sugar Donuts
- 2 Fruit By the Foot
- 1/4 cup White Melting Chips

- 2 Orange Starburst
- 6 Lollipop Sticks
- Black Gel Icing
-
Heat White Candy Chips in large bowl by microwaving for 30 seconds; stirring and repeating until melted.
-

-
Push 3 donuts onto stick to form head and body.
-
Place a small glob of white chocolate below bottom donut to keep it from sliding.
-
Lay donuts flat to set.
-
Cut Starburst candy in half, and then cut each half on the diagonal and mold to form carrot shape.
-

Using gel icing pipe black dots to make "coal" eyes and mouth.
