Turkey-Shaped Doughnuts

<!-- -->

Put two kinds of doughnuts together and what do you get? An irresistible Thanksgiving treat kids will have a blast making.

  • 8 mini-doughnuts
  • 8 doughnut holes
  • Thin pretzel sticks
  • Several yellow and red Starburst candies
  • White chocolate chips
  • Fruit Roll-Ups
  • Small amount of chocolate frosting or melted chocolate chips (for eyes)
  • 1
    Snap a pretzel stick in half, put one end in the doughnut hole and the other end in the doughnut to form the turkey's body.
  • 2
    Push two white chocolate chips, pointy-side down, into the doughnut hole to make the eyes.
  • 3
    Cut two yellow Starburst candies into four triangles each (these will be the beaks).
  • 4
    Place a red Starburst candy in the microwave for about 5 seconds to soften it up. Pinch off a small piece to form the wattle and press it on the side of the beak.
  • 5
    Take a small pretzel piece, poke one end into the beak and the other end in the doughnut hole.
  • 6
    Give the kids each a pair of safe scissors and a Fruit Roll-Up. Have them cut out four feather shapes and two "legs" (cut a strip with two small snips at one end for feet). Press each "feather" against a pretzel stick, then push it into the mini-doughnut. Add the feet.
  • 7
    Using a toothpick or chopstick, place a small amount of chocolate frosting or melted chocolate chips on each eye to form the pupil. Watch them get gobbled up!
