Ok…..I love hedgehogs! There, I said it. Aren’t they the cutest?! I got inspired by some cinnamon donut holes and thought, “wouldn’t these make the most adorable hedgehogs?” I know….I’m slightly obsessed…which is why I decided to make these adorable Hedgehog Donut Holes!

UPDATE: You guys…I finally did it…we got our first family pet a little over a year ago! Yep, you guessed…our very own Hedgehog! Meet Penelope Lane Tulip (official name chosen by my children) or Penny Lane for short. As you might have guessed, I have had my share of fun doing various Penny Lane Hedgehog photoshoots. Be sure to follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see all the latest!

How to make Hedgehog Donut Holes

Supplies:

I used all store bought materials, but if you want to go the extra mile you could certainly make your own donut holes (in which case I will bow at your feet and refer to you as Queen)! I absolutely love the –the easier the better I always say! First, prepare your chocolate as instructed and dip away in sprinkles…

Use wax or to set the Hedgehog Donut Holes on while they dry. Make sure you have plenty of room in between so that they don’t get stuck together.

Tip:

Next, it’s time to add the face…tip: use a toothpick to make “pilot holes” then push sprinkles in. This is by far my favorite part–their little faces definitely give them personality!

Once you have your pilot holes in place carefully push in two sprinkles for the eyes and one for the nose. This would be a great project to do with kids of all ages! Be careful not to push the sprinkles in too much as the eyes would be lost. In addition, you could also use for the face and it would be just as cute.

I mean…they’re seriously….the cutest?! Finally it’s time to eat and enjoy…

Now, if you like to play with your food then you’d probably be interested in making a Cheese Mouse or two…and maybe some Boo Meringues??

That’s My Dose of DIY!

Hello, I have found interest in this recipe. Could you be more specific on the type of chocolate? I was thinking, hersheys syrup or melted chocolate chips.

Thank you!
