Is it just me or are you all in shock that it’s almost Easter? I really can’t believe where the time goes. There are lots of fun Easter Treats on my list…I just hope I have time to share them with you. So let’s get started…Easter Doughnut Pops…

So what do you think? I think your kiddos will love them! Although…I wasn’t really sure what to call them…

• Easter Doughnuts on a Stick
• Doughnuts and Peeps on a Stick
• Peeps with Doughnuts on a Stick
• Easter Doughnuts
• Or maybe just…Sugar High

What’s your vote? My vote…they are just fun {and yummy}

I started with one of my favorite Doughnut Recipes that I used for Cherry Doughnuts for Valentine’s Day, and simply left out the cherries and traded Almond Extract for the Vanilla. Using a very small amount of batter in my Wilton Mini Doughnut Pan, topped with a little Vanilla Glaze and sprinkles and the finishing touch…a Bunny Peep.

Notes

Liz says...
I love the mini doughnuts, but you can certainly use this recipe in any doughnut pan. If you don't have a doughnut pan, you can try baking them in a muffin tin, but I think a doughnut pan is well worth the money {usually less than $10}

Stay tuned for more Easter treats all this week!
