Get the kids involved in the kitchen this summer making these beach ball donuts.

One of my favorite places to vacation is the beach.  And really, any beach will do.  The sun, the water and the waves are all I need.  Luckily my kids love the beach too.  And we actually have one last beach vacation planned for this year and I can not wait!  Inspired by our upcoming trip, my love of snacks and super cute food, I thought it’d be fun to make these yummy beach ball donuts with the kids.  I mean what kid doesn’t love donuts and those mini umbrellas right?!?!

These beach ball donuts are super easy to make and can be made in 30 minutes.  I just started out with some store bought donut holes.  I mean who wants to heat up their kitchen during the summer to make donuts.  The vanilla melting bark is just melted in the microwave and is ready in about 2 minutes.  Just follow the instructions on the package to melt the candy.  Dip the donut holes into the vanilla candy, gently shake off any extra candy, and then while still wet, let the kids sprinkle on their favorite color of sprinkles to make the colors for the beach ball.  Set them on a piece of parchment paper to set up.  I stuck mine in the fridge for about 5 minutes to harden.

To create the beach for our beach ball donuts, I used a box of graham cracker crumbs (you can find them in the baking aisle) and covered a plate with our graham cracker sand.  I used a mini snickers bar as a base to hold up my umbrella and buried it in the crumbs.  Then I set the beach ball donuts on the beach!
