Ingredients
  

  • 4 mini donuts
  • 4 toothpicks
  • 1 tbsp frosting

Instructions
 

  • Cut the donut in half.
  • Use a toothpick to secure the donut back to back making the butterfly wings. For the mini-donuts I cut my toothpicks in half, use a full toothpick for a regular donut butterfly.
  • Add extra frosting if desired to create a more beautiful butterfly. You can also add a sprig of mint or lavender down the middle to create the antenna.
