Donut Tree

This isn't so much a recipe as it is a craft project. A craft project involving donut holes. And lots of them.

Normally, arts and crafts ain't my thang. I made a bookshelf in my high school's "Industrial Arts 101"that my father thought of highly enough to turn into a doorstopper. "Fabrics 101" left me with a crooked zipper dress and higher blood pressure. And any talk of dioramas made me want to die-orama.

But when the sugary middles of donuts enter the picture, how can one turn down a crafting opportunity? I must sheepishly admit this is a Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade idea. But if you make this for a holiday party, please keep in the Sandra spirit and down a couple of cocktails while constructing it.

Happy donut-ing! (And possibly drinking!)

Donut Tree
1 styrofoam cone (whatever size you like. I used the largest one available)
70 powdered donut holes (depending on the size of the cone, of course!)
1 bag jelly spice drops
1 can cream cheese frosting
Toothpicks

1.) Poke toothpicks into the cone and spear a donut hole on each one. When cone is filled with donuts, prepare the frosting. Add the frosting into a ziploc bag and cut a hole in one corner. Pipe frosting in between the donuts. Place the jelly spice drops in toothpicks and arrange around the tree. Add any extras to the bottom as "presents." Laugh and enjoy!
