Tasty Toadstools in 20 Minutes
This adorable recipe is super easy and can be ready in just 20 minutes!
These whimsical little treats are sure to put a smile on even the grouchiest face.
Whip them up for themed parties, showers, sleepover extravaganzas, or just as a surprise after school snack.
Pair them with our magical toadstool cupcakes!

You’ll want to serve them immediately because the donuts dry out relatively quickly. However, you could coat them in frosting to lock in the moisture.
That step will add to your prep time and increase the sugar and calorie content but could be worth it depending on your needs.

Experiment with different colored frostings, sprinkles, donut hole flavors, and edible glitters to create a magical grove of toadstools.
Easy Fairy Toadstool Recipe

Fairy Toadstool Treats
Instructions
- Cut donut holes in half with a bread knife.
- Unwrap, but do not remove, Tootsie Rolls.
- Place 3 at a time in the microwave and microwave for 5 seconds.
- Discard wrappers and shape Tootsie Rolls into a mushroom stem.
- Set on a flat surface to harden.
- Gently press donut hole halves into each stem.
- Decorate with color gels. TIP: The trick is to use a little color gel, not a lot, otherwise it will run down the donut.
Coconut Grass Garnish
- Place coconut into a resealable sandwich bag.
- Add 1 teaspoon of water to a small bowl. Add 4 drops green food coloring and mix well.
- Add to coconut.
- Seal bag and knead until color is evenly distributed through coconut.
- Place toadstools onto a plate and add coconut grass/moss. Serve immediately.

Notes
