Krispy Kreme Donut Holes

While we love traditional cake pops and cake balls, these recipes require baking a cake, crumbling it, forming the balls, etc. which can take you anywhere from an hour or two from start to finish. Using store-bought donut holes moves the process along a lot faster, and they taste just as good with sweet little donut holes as the base.

CHOCOLATE – We used white chocolate but you can also use dark or milk chocolate for the coating. I always recommend the Ghiradelli brand of melting wafers, but Wilton candy melts, baking chocolate, or almond bark will do the trick as well. To melt chocolate you can use either a double boiler or a small saucepan with a glass bowl over the top.

Though it’s entirely possible to use chocolate chips for this recipe, I wouldn’t recommend it. Chocolate chips do not melt as well and people tend to seize up the chocolate when they try to melt them. Try almond bark or baking chocolate (bars of chocolate) if you’d like to substitute the melting wafers.

Store at room temperature in either an air-tight container or covered with plastic wrap for 2-3 days. These cake pops are best enjoyed after 1-2 days of making them. Do not store in the freezer or refrigerator, this will cause the chocolate to sweat when it’s brought back to room temperature, which in turn will melt the sprinkles and cause color-bleeding.

Yes, you can make them up to 24 hours in advance and store them in an air-tight container or covered with plastic wrap. I wouldn’t make them any further in advance than that as they’re best enjoyed when fresh (1-2 days). If you have an event in the evening, make them the morning of. After all, they only take about 20 minutes to make!

The versatility of these donut hole cake pops is endless. Ours are decorated for spring/Easter, but you can decorate them to match any party theme, holiday, baby shower, or for each season by using color coordinating candy wafers and sprinkles.

Serve fresh at room temperature. You can cover them in cellophane for gift giving or to use as party favors – this is a good cake pop set to use for that.

Leftovers will last for up to 3 days although you will be able to tell that they aren’t as fresh. With that said, that hasn’t stopped anyone from continuing to enjoy them as the days passed!

Apple Cider Donut Holes

Like when we are trying to get out the door to do preschool drop-offs and Little Boy #3 has the worst case of bedhead ever recorded. He’s not even going to school, just going with me to drop off Little Boy #2 mind you. Why do I spend 5 minutes looking for his hat instead of just actually wetting his hair down and running the comb through it? LAZY!

Or how about when my shirt is a little wrinkly? Do I get out the iron like a normal person, or do I spray it, and then try to use my hair blow dryer to get out the wrinkles? GUILTY!
