These Acorn Donut Holes are a fun no-bake fall treat made with chocolate-dipped donut holes, chocolate sprinkles, and pretzel stems. They look just like little acorns and are perfect for autumn parties or Thanksgiving dessert tables.
They come together with just a handful of ingredients and are easy enough for kids to help make. You could even make these for a fall themed charcuterie dessert board or as a cozy fall movie night snack. Once the chocolate sets, they're ready to serve and enjoy.
Acorn Donut Holes makes: About 28
Prep time: 20 minutes
Set time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes
You will need
• 14 ounce package of donut holes (about 28)
• 14 pretzel sticks
• 24 oz chocolate almond bark
• 1/4 cup chocolate sprinkles
• Parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Toothpicks
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring well between each until smooth.
Insert a toothpick into a donut hole and dip the top third into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip away.
2. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, remove the toothpick, and place the donut hole onto the prepared baking sheet.
Break each pretzel stick in half and insert one half into the top of each donut hole to create the acorn stem.
3. Repeat with the remaining donut holes, then allow them to set for about 1 hour.
4. Arrange on a platter and enjoy.
Tips and tricks! • Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving for the best results.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• If the chocolate starts to thicken while dipping, gently reheat it in short microwave bursts.
