Pop a doughnut hole onto a Cake Pop stick. It helps to use a little icing on the stick before you insert it into your doughnut hole. To do this, simply dab the stick in a little bit of icing then press it into the doughnut hole.

Donut Pop Recipes Notes:
- Make sure your icing is room temperature or else it’ll be harder to dip.
- You can use melted chocolate like white chocolate or milk chocolate or candy melts to make a chocolate coating, but the texture is going to be less soft. It’ll be more like traditional cake pops, but a spongy middle.
- You can use long, short, or colorful lollipop sticks. Just depends on if you’re making these just because or like party favors/snacks for a baby shower or birthday.
- You plain donut holes. Plain mini donuts will be less sweet than glazed store-bought donut holes. Plus, the icing is more likely to stick to plain donuts. You can even make homemade cake pops with homemade donut holes if you wanted, but we tend to like easy donut cake pops. Less work is best!
- Add color to your icing to make fun holiday donut pops like Halloween cake pops.
- Use chocolate icing for a tasty chocolate favor.
