Description

Learn how to store and make ahead Easy Acorn Donut Holes. Keep them fresh at room temperature and assemble just before serving for perfect chocolate and pretzel stems.

Ingredients 

  • 20 Glazed Donuts, holes
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 20 Pretzel Sticks
  • 3/4 cup Chocolate Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Snap pretzel sticks in half if needed so you’ll only need about 10.
  • Place chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth and glossy.
  • Pour chocolate sprinkles into a separate small bowl and set nearby.
  • Dip the top of each donut hole into the melted chocolate, scraping off any excess, then immediately dip into the sprinkles so they stick.
  • Gently press a pretzel stick into the chocolatey top to create the acorn stem, being careful not to knock off the sprinkles.
  • Place each decorated donut hole on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Pop them in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes to set the chocolate, or enjoy immediately while still slightly melty.
