Get ready for some holiday fun with these cute and homemade Rudolph chocolate donuts!
We love baked donuts at our house. Once you have the donut molds, they're easy to mix up and bake. They're perfect for any day of the week and you can make so many different flavors of donuts, icing and top them off with some sprinkles.
These Rudolph donuts are great for Christmas morning, Christmas parties or an afternoon snack around Christmas time. The donuts are soft and the sweet icing tops them off perfectly.
This recipe is perfect for getting the kiddos in the kitchen too. They can help mix the donut batter and decorate them once they're iced. You can also pick out your favorite Rudolph books, read them together and have a Rudolph snack.
