How to Make Fairy/ Elf / Gnome Donuts




My Fairies Marygold and Violet
are always saying to me how they want tea
so here is a neat idea to have tea time with your Fairy and Fae folk
acorn tea and acorn tea cups

if you want to make this
all you need is Acorns, Glue, twigs and imaginationsit back and let the fairies come


But you know what Goes Great with a  Fairy Tea / Coffee Party
DONUTS!!!!!!!!


The Donuts are made from Cheerios 
The Boxes are made from Matchboxes lined in wax paper  or you can use an Altoids Container




 Alot of people have Emailed asking me how to make them so here is how to make the Fairy Elf Donuts


You need   Honey nut Cheerios   IF  you do not like Cheerios as many people say its  GMO  you can use an Organic Version of  Cheerios that is non GMO the Choice is yours 

Personally I would go with the organic one  and I think the Fairies and Elves would Agree


This is what you will need to make them


Cheerios or Organic non gmo Version like Nature's Path
  Cascadian Farms or Natures Path Valley  the choice is yours
Chocolate -melted
Rainbow sprinkles
Cinnamon 
hot cocoa powder
Honey
Coconut Flakes
Nutella Spread   ( Optional )
Peanut butter  ( Optional )
Cake Frosting  ( For the Cream Filled ones )

Try Experimenting with other Flavors the possibilities are endless 





                                    To make Powdered Sugar Fairy/ Elf Donuts


Dump some powdered sugar in the bowl, and add some cheerios.  With clean and DRY hands, toss the cheerios around until you have some coated donuts.  Set aside.












                                            To make sprinkled donuts and chocolate donuts


Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power, don't melt it too fast or it will burn.  When ready use itty bitty tongs to dip your donuts in the chocolate (or maybe toothpicks?) then transfer the half dipped donuts into the sprinkle bowl.  Let them dry in the sprinkles.




For the chocolate donuts just turn the plain cheerios over once coated on one side, this will make them look chocolatey.  Tip them on their sides and let them dry.  If you fail to tip them on their sides they will be hard to remove from the bowl.









                                 To make the Cinnamon Donuts or the Hot Cocoa Donuts 


Dip the Cheerios  in honey  then sprinkle  cinnamon on top of them  on all sides





                                                           
                         
                                          To make the Coconut Flake Donuts and Cream Filled Donuts

                                   
Dip the  cheerios  in honey or melted Chocolate  then cover with  Coconut Flakes

to make the Cream Filled Donuts simply add a Drop of  Cake Frosting in the center of the cherrio then cover in melted Chocolate or  Confectionery Sugar  













I know what you are going to ask next  How do you make the Boxes for the Donuts

Simple
Empty Match box



                     Find one like these kinds  a paper matchbox  

                                            

                      you can make the boxes out of paper 



USE THIS AS A TEMPLATE  
Print it up 
to make your own Box for the Fairy / Elf Donuts and Decorate them as you Please
