How to Make Grow Your Own Magic Doughnuts Donuts

  1. Before bed, have the kids place 1 cup of their favorite cereal (the 'doughnut seeds'!) onto a cookie sheet or tray.
  2. Sprinkle the cereal with 2 tablespoons of milk (for chocolate iced), water (for glazed), or regular milk (for cream-filled). For sprinkles, add desired amount of sprinkles.
  3. Place the tray in a cold oven overnight.
  4. Tell the kids that if they stay in bed and sleep well, the cereal will magically grow into doughnuts by morning!
  5. Very early the next morning, drive to your favorite bakery and purchase one dozen freshly baked doughnuts.
  6. Carefully replace the cereal on the cookie sheet with the freshly purchased doughnuts. Dispose of the cereal and the doughnut packaging discreetly.
  7. Wait for your little darlings to wake up and discover the magical doughnuts in the oven!
  8. Enjoy the smiles and wonder on your children's faces as they marvel at their 'grown' doughnuts!
