MICKEY AND MINNIE DOUGHNUTS

MICKEY AND MINNIE DOUGHNUTS
These Mickey and Minnie Doughnuts will bring a little Disney magic to your treat-making this season. They’re drenched in chocolate and channeling the festive spirit of the holidays.
Speaking of Mickeys and Minnies, you can definitely make all of these one or the other, but I usually just do half and half. All your Mickeys will be getting yellow buttons on their pants, and the Minnies will be getting bows on their heads and polka dot dresses. You can drive yourself crazy trying to make the polka dots look balanced, so I try to remember less is more.
M&Ms – I usually have regular-sized M&Ms around the house for other projects, and they’ll work just fine for Mickey’s pants. Yellow Reese’s pieces will work too (mmmm, peanut butter).

Ingredients
  • 1 Package Chocolate Covered Hostess Mini Doughnettes
  • 1 Package Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
  • 1 Bag Red Candy Melts
  • 1 Tube White Cookie Icing
  • 1 Small Bag Mini M&M's yellows picked out
  • 1 Package Wilton Royal Icing Bow Transfers
  • 1 Container Wilton Holly Melody Sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchments.
  2. Melt red chocolate candy melts in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  3. Meanwhile, make 2 slits on the top sides of the doughnut for the ears. Slide a Ghiradelli wafer into each slit for the ears.
  4. Dip doughnutts that are going to be Mickey donuts halfway into the melted red chocolate. Allow any excess to drip back into double boiler. Lay dipped doughnut onto prepared cookies sheet and place 2 mini yellow M&M's onto the top center for Mickeys pant buttons. Repeat with remaining donuts that you want to be Mickey donuts. Allow to dry on cookie sheet.
  5. Dip doughnutts that are going to be Minnie donuts halfway into the melted red chocolate. Allow any excess to drip back into double boiler. Lay dipped doughnut onto prepared cookies. Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate a place a dab on the back of an Icing Bow and place on donut, between the ears. Using the cookie icing, pipe dots onto the red chocolate for the polka dots on Minney's dress.
  6. Carefully place the holly leaves and red sprinkle for the berries onto the right corner of each donut. (I use kitchen tweezers)
