Donut Snowmen



A fond and snowy welcome to my Red Couch.  Come in from the cold where it is nice and toasty on my Red Couch.



I have seen these cute little donut snowmen around and thought I would try my hand at them.  I think the original inspiration came from Matthew Meade.  They are so cute and fun to make.  I am making these and some other donut snowmen with my Activity Day girls (church) tomorrow. 



Ingredients:

Miniature Powdered Sugar Donuts
Brown Jimmies
Orange Slices
Black Confetti Sprinkles  -- mine are from a Halloween Mix
Light Corn Syrup

Break off a small piece of an orange slice and form into nose.  Dab nose with a bit of corn syrup and insert in donut hole.  Insert brown jimmies in donut for mouth.  Attach black confetti sprinkles by dabbing the back of confetti with a bit of corn syrup.  If you don't have confetti, you could use miniature chocolate chips, food clay, fondant or icing or jel.

I think my girls will love making and eating these snowmen. 

Thanks for dropping by me Red Couch where you are always welcome!

    These are so cute...I'm making these the next time the little grands are here. Maybe it will get them to eat something besides Goldfish crackers!

    Oh Oh Oh!!! What a great idea for the girls. I have a new job...food chairman, but this would be perfect. I might have to pass it on to my successor. Thanks for the great photos and inspiration.

    I saw some where they used a candy corn for the snowman's nose. Either way, they're adorable!
