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.

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.

Ingredients
- 12 plain donut holes

Instructions

- Discard wrappers and shape Tootsie Rolls into a mushroom stem.
