You could simply serve donuts and hot chocolate for a snow day gathering, but why would you when you can easily whip these little babies up in a few minutes and impress everyone with your creativity? I give you the easiest treat with the biggest wow factor for a winter activity of any kind: Snowman Donut Bites.

Step
1

Start by laying the donuts out on a large, flat platter. Tip:  the donuts need to be at room temperature or they will crumble if they are cold at all. Handle them with care.

Step
2

Gently push two mini chocolate chips, pointy side down, into the donut to form eyes.

Now it's time for the noses. The perfect donut noses are the smaller sized Cheetos. Tip: We had fun pulling one out of the bag and if it didn't look like the right size, we ate it and pulled out the next one. If you get one that is too fat, your donut will break apart when you put it into place.

We served ours with hot cocoa, served in these adorable Winter Mugs after filling up on Snowman Pancakes and fresh oranges. It was the perfect sweet treat to top off our fun day of crafting and sledding. The donuts were fun to dunk or try to eat in one big bite.

Be sure to check out our Snow Day Brunch and cute snowman craft and pankcakes that are the perfect addition to these snowman donut bites.
