Christmas Eve Traditions

Elf Donuts

Santa and his reindeer are often the recipients of carrots and celery, or homemade cookies and hot cocoa to munch on. But what about Santa’s hard-working elves? Surely they too deserve a homemade treat to show our gratitude for helping Santa get ready for his big night! But what do elves eat? Cookies seem too big and we’re not sure how much they like veggies, so something sweet seems appropriate. We figure they’d really enjoy this sweet treat that is just their size: elf donuts! Impossibly small and equally as adorable, elf donuts are super fun to make. All you need are some cheerios and a few “toppings” to make this box of delicious donuts.
