RECIPE - Yummy Stuffed Donuts!

When it comes to a party on a budget, it pays to be creative. Store bought cakes can get quite expensive. Homemade cake can be a nice touch although we don't aways have the time. A simple solution can be utilizing donuts from your local grocery store!

Stuffed Donuts

1 dozen Chocolate glazed donuts
1 gallon favorite ice cream

Gently slice the donuts almost through, so that the top can be separated from the bottom- creating a flap. Scoop up some ice cream and place in the center of the flap.

If the Stuffed Donuts are for a child's party, let the children decorate their own with assorted candy and piped frosting! With a dozen donuts going for about $4.00, and ice cream around $5.00, it's easy and a money saver!

3 tablespoon Vanilla
2 cup brewed Coffee (can use decaffeinated)
