Adorable, festive holiday treats that turn simple donuts into cute, edible reindeer for Christmas morning breakfast!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Donuts
My Aunt Laurina (my Mom’s sister) not only catches all of my typos, but she sends me all sorts of super cute recipe ideas, too! There are so many I want to make it will take a me a lifetime to get to all of them!
This idea for Reindeer Donuts will also work as Reindeer Cake Mix Cookies, too!
If you’ve been around here for a while, then you know I love cute kid food!

What You’ll Need:
- 12 mini Chocolate Donuts
- 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips, Melted
- 12 Mini-Pretzels
- 24 Candy Eyes
- 12 Mini-Nilla Wafers
- 12 Red M&M’s
How to Make Reindeer Donuts
- Set 12 mini-chocolate donuts on parchment paper.
- Melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, to use as ‘glue.’
- Break a pretzel and push each half into the top of the donuts for antlers.
- Using a toothpick, put a small dollop of melted chocolate on the back of 1 mini-Nilla Wafer and ‘glue’ to the lower center.
- Using the same method, ‘glue’ 2 candy eyes just above the wafer.
- Again, do the same on the back of 1 red M&M (brown M&M’s would work, too!) and ‘glue’ it on top of the wafer.
- Repeat with remaining donuts.
- Let harden.
