Sweet Easter Nest Donuts Recipe

These Sweet Easter Nest Donuts are extremely cute and delicious. They take no time to make and are simply adorable. 

The original recipe comes from Country Crock and after looking at the recipe I decided I would try it with a cake mix. You need a donut pan or maker, obviously, to make these donuts. I purchased a set of silicone donut molds on Amazon. Once upon a time, I had an electric donut maker and I have no idea what I did with it, probably donated it to Goodwill.

The original recipe makes 6 servings but since I was using a cake mix, it made 2 dozen. You can also use a small box of cake mix if you don't want to make as many. In our household, donuts do not last long.

Let's get started making donuts!

Ingredients:

    Supermoist Vanilla Cake Mix or your favorite cake mix

    1 C of water

    1/2 C vegetable oil

    3 eggs

Chocolate Glaze:

    8 oz bittersweet chocolate chips

    2 T light corn syrup

    1 Stick of butter, hot and melted

    1/2 t kosher salt

Topping

    3 C sweetened shredded coconut

    Chocolate mini eggs

Instruction:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush or spray the donut pan with butter or non-stick spray.
   
   
   
2. Make the cake mix according to box instructions.
3. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the donut springs back when gently poked. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before overturning the donuts onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing. 
   
   
   
4. Toast the coconut on a cookie sheet tray after baking the donuts. 
   
   
   
5. Once the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze. Combine the chocolate chips and corn syrup in a heat-proof bowl. Microwave it at 30-second intervals. Stirring until melted. Add the hot melted butter and salt, stir until completely smooth. Let sit for 5 -10 minutes to cool and thicken a bit. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Dip the donuts in the glaze then dip them in the coconut.
7. Place your chocolate eggs in the middle. 
   
   
   

***NOTE - fill the donut pan cavities 3/4 full because you will get a well rounded donut. Also, if you let them set up, the glaze will harden.*** 

We hope you enjoyed this Easter Nest Donut recipe. Do you make donuts? How do you make them with an appliance or a donut pan? Or do you make yeast donuts and fry them? Please comment below.

Happy Easter everyone,

10 Easter & Spring Crafts for Kids

***UPDATED 3/18/24***

It’s that time of year when flowers, bunnies, chicks, and eggs are popping up EVERYWHERE! Easter is the first holiday of Spring and we celebrate with the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts. But most importantly, we celebrate Easter for one reason, and that’s the death & resurrection of Jesus Christ. With all the commercialization of religious holidays, we tend to forget the real meaning.

When my kids were growing up, we loved to do crafts. Almost every holiday was craft time in our house. 

Here are several easy and great crafts to do for Easter and Springtime. Links to the crafts are in the caption under the pictures.

• Ever use socks for crafts? I have and these cute little bunnies are adorable.

• All you need for the funny bunny is a printer, paper, and some sort of candy, like a sucker, a candy straw, or a candy stick.

• Oh my, how cute are the baby birds in the nest? This is a wonderful spring craft.

Birds in Nest

• He Is Risen! basket is a thoughtful craft idea the kids can fill the basket up with treats and give it to someone.

• Have the kids color paper eggs and put them on a paper tree trunk.

• Handprint crafts were always a hit in my house. This is a fluffy little lamb using cotton balls.

• Pony beads were the rage at one time. They still are a fun craft for any occasion. 

Bead Cross

• I remember making matchstick crafts when I was a kid. This is a unique cross to make. FYI the burnt matches are to be done by a parent before the children glue the matches on the paper.

• The paper cross necklace is super simple and lovely to wear. You can use whatever paper you have on hand. The kids will be so proud of themselves that they made their own jewelry.

• Work together with your kids to complete these cards, then hand them out to friends and family or mail them to those that are far away.
