I love to surprise my kids with a special treat during the holidays. My middle daughter especially LOVES themed treats. These can easily be made with store bought donuts, and your kids will just go crazy for them.
As if you’re not busy enough, here’s how to make these for a fun Christmas activity together. With these supplies, you can make 12-14 donuts.

How do you make Disney Donuts?
First you’ll need to melt the red candy melts in the microwave and stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. I find it’s easier to do in the microwave, but some people prefer the double boiler method.
Next, while chocolate is melting, make two slits onto the tops sides of the donut for the ears.
Use two Ghiradelli milk chocolate wafers for each donut and slide a wafer into the slits to make Mickey Mouse’s ears.
Next, dip the donut half way into the red chocolate and then gently shake to get rid of excess.
Place onto the cookie sheet and then place two yellow M&M’s into the middle of the red for Mickey’s pants.
Carefully place the holly leaves and red sprinkles for the berries into the corner for Mickey. Tweezers work best or possibly a toothpick if you’re very careful.
Then allow to dry.
Dip the donuts that are being used for Minnie into the red and then place onto the cookie sheet.
Using a toothpick, dip the toothpick into the chocolate and add a dollop onto the back of the icing bow.
Place the bow in between the ears.
Using the cookie icing, pipe on the polka dots for her dress
Using the tweezers again to gently place the holly leaves and red sprinkles for the berries onto the corner.
Pop your Mickey and Minnie donuts into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes so they can dry completely before serving.

The holly leaves and berries are what make these a little Christmas-y, but you can totally skip that part and just make regular Mickey & Minnie donuts. Enjoy!
