  • 1 (8.9 oz.) bag Little Debbie Mini Valentine Donuts

Decoration

  • 12 oz. white candy melts
  • Assorted Valentine’s sprinkles
  • Black edible food marker

Serving Accessories

  • Mini coffee cups (refer to related post for purchase guidance)

Instructions

  1. Draw faces: Using the black edible food marker, carefully draw eyes and a mouth on each Mini Valentine Donut to create charming facial expressions.
  2. Melt candy coating: Melt the white candy melts following the package instructions until smooth and ready for decorating.
  3. Attach sprinkles: Dip a toothpick into the melted candy coating, then use it to attach assorted Valentine’s sprinkles around the tops of the donuts, giving them a festive look.
  4. Alternative decoration: For a different approach, drizzle the melted white candy coating over the donuts and immediately sprinkle the Valentine’s sprinkles on top to adhere while the coating is still wet.
  5. Serve: Present the decorated donuts with mini coffee cups adorned with heart stickers and red cardstock for an adorable Valentine’s themed treat setup.

Notes

  • The black edible food marker is essential for creating cute facial details and can be found at specialty baking stores or online.
  • White candy melts can be substituted with white chocolate chips but may require careful melting to avoid burning.
  • Use toothpicks for precision when attaching sprinkles to avoid smudging the candy coating.
  • Mini coffee cups add a charming touch and are perfect for serving alongside these small donuts at parties or gatherings.
  • Store decorated donuts at room temperature and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
