This easy, but totally fun dessert, that combines everyone's faves, into a fun little festive treat idea. The soft chocolatey marshmallow treat is so perfect with the sweet candy glaze on top. I would choose these over a deep fried donut any day.
I mean who isn't going to obsess over these chocolatey, marshmallow-ey rice krispies treats, disguised as little donuts, topped with french vanilla candy glaze and sprinkles?!
These start with a rice cereal treat donut and then we top it in a sweet candy glaze and sprinkles. The best part is, you can totally customize these and and use fruity cereal or regular rice krispies for a classic version and make different shaped donuts.
Get creative and come up with different flavors and colors, then, let everyone add their own toppings for a really fun, custom treat. How cute did these turn out? They look just like a real donut!

Rice Krispies Treat Donuts
Yield: 10 (3-inch) donuts
Ingredients
Rice Krispies Treat Donuts:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10 oz.) packages mini marshmallows
- 5 cups cocoa flavored crispy rice cereal (about 1/2 of a 15oz. box)
Glaze:
- 6oz (1 cup) candy melts or chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons International Delight french vanilla creamer
- rainbow sprinkles for garnish
Directions
Crispy Donuts:
Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in marshmallows over low heat, until fully melted (Or do this in the microwave). Turn off heat and pour over cereal in a large bowl, mixing until cereal is well coated. Allow to cool slightly for a few minutes, until no longer hot to the touch.
Use greased hands to press a handful of the cooled mixture into a circle cookie cutter. Press into a donut shape and use your finger to create a hole in the middle. Place on wax paper lined baking sheet to cool completely.
Glaze:
Melt candy melts/or chocolate chips and creamer in a shallow bowl, stirring until smooth. Dip each completely cooled "donut" in the glaze and top with sprinkles. If glaze starts to thicken you can microwave it for a few seconds to thin it out again.
