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.

Ingredients

  • 12 plain donut holes
  • 24 Tootsie Rolls
  • Red Wilton Sparkle Gel
  • Orange Wilton Sparkle Gel
  • Yellow Wilton Sparkle Gel
  • Light green Wilton Sparkle Gel
  • Dark green Wilton Sparkle Gel

Coconut Grass

  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1 tsp water
  • green food coloring
  • resealable plastic bag

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

You’ll want to serve these pretty quickly as the donut holes will dry out. 
Please note that these nutrition facts are an estimate based on similar ingredients. To calculate this approximation, cupcakes were used in place of donut holes.
