Christmas Donut Hole Tree
This stunning Christmas Donut Hole Tree makes the perfect festive treat and doubles as holiday party décor. It's easy to make and perfect for a crowd.
Ingredients
- 12 inch styrofoam cone
- plastic wrap
- 84 toothpicks
- 84 donut holes, old-fashioned, powdered sugar, or chocolate
- 1 Tablespoon powdered sugar
- fresh rosemary, as garnish
Instructions
- Wrap a 12-inch styrofoam cone with plastic wrap so it's completely covered.
- Press a toothpick at the base of the cone, then put a donut hole on top. You may need to adjust the donut or the toothpick so the tree still sits flat.
- Repeat the process until the bottom of the cone has donuts around the base.
- Then create another ring of donuts over the bottom ring, alternating the donuts so they sit above the gaps where two donuts touch in the bottom ring.
- Continue until the entire cone is covered. One single donut hole should be placed on the top.
- Decorate the tree by sprinkling it with powdered sugar and tucking in small springs of rosemary throughout.
- NOTE: If you don't eat all of the donuts, you'll need to remove them from the cone and place them in an airtight container so they don't go stale.

Notes
You'll need some force to press the toothpicks into the cone, so I would recommend having an adult do it. The toothpicks can get slippery too after touching the donuts so you may want to clean your hands periodically to avoid an accident!
When you get to the top of the cone, you'll need to be more strategic with where you place your toothpicks. There's not a lot of styrofoam at the top so you may need to press your toothpicks at an angle to avoid hitting any previous toothpicks.
