This weekend we visited friends that have an amazing fish tank in their basement. I left wanting to either buy a pet fish or make a fish themed dessert. As you can guess from the picture above, option number two won!

Fish Donuts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

Serves 8

• 8 regular size donuts
• 1 container of vanilla frosting
• yellow food coloring
• 1 bag of M&M’s
• 4 red or pink fruit chews
• 8 fruit chews in varied colors (for the tail)
• 4 mini marshmallows
• 8 chocolate chips

Preparation

• Place the frosting in a microwave safe bowl and mix in yellow food coloring until you get desired color

 

 

 

• Place bowl in the microwave for 20 seconds (times may vary depending on microwave)

 

 

 

• Individually dip each donut in the melted yellow frosting and place on a wire rack or plate to dry

 

 

 

• Decorate the donut with M&Ms and the eyes before it has completely dried
• To make the eyes, cut a mini marshmallow in half
• Then stick a chocolate chip into the sticky side of the marshmallow with the pointy side facing the marshmallow
• To create the lips, place a red or pink fruit chew in the microwave for 7 seconds
• Remove and break into two pieces

 

 

 

• Roll each piece into a thin log (pictured above) and fold into a “v” shape for the lips
• Place the lips on top of the donut
• For the tail, place another fruit chew in the microwave for 7 seconds

 

 

 

• Roll into a ball and flatten into the shape above
• Place the pointy side into the donut for the tail
• If the fruit chew is too heavy or flimsy, you can place a mini marshmallow under the tail to keep it in place for your presentation
