Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • mini cupcake pan

Ingredients

For the Donut Base

  • 12 pieces Premade Plain Donut Holes Choose any favorite flavor, glazed works particularly well.

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet, Dark, or Milk Chocolate Chips Use melted chips for easy dipping.
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil Ensures smooth melting; vegetable oil can be a substitute.

For the Acorn Stem

  • 12 pieces Broken Pretzel Sticks Halve them to fit into the donut holes.

For the Decorative Touch

  • 1 cup Sprinkles Choose Red, Orange, Chocolate, or Autumn Mix.

Instructions

How to Make Acorn Donut Holes

  • Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 20-second intervals until smooth.
  • Gently dip the top of each donut hole into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  • While the chocolate is still wet, dip the donut into your chosen sprinkles.
  • Take half a pretzel stick and insert it into the topped donut hole.
  • Place each decorated donut hole in a mini cupcake pan or on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes until fully set.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the tops for a more decadent look.
