The Trixy Treat

Bringing back two of my favorite desserts - a donut and a Trix Krispy. With a cake donut on the outside and a Trix Krispy center. In addition to being an amazing dessert, this recipe also recently won "runner up" in The Golden Noms by Genius Kitchen (GK Now).

Trixy Treat

Ingredients

Donut

• 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour

• ¾ cup sugar

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 teaspoon honey

• ¾ cup buttermilk

• ¼ cup butter, melted

• 2 eggs

• Vegetable oil

Glaze

• 1 ½ cup powdered sugar

• 2-3 tablespoons milk

• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla

• 5 drops of blue food dye (to your liking)

(sprinkles for extra decoration)

Trix krispy treat

• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows

• 10 cups Trix cereal

• ¼ cup butter

Directions

Trix krispy treats

1. In a large pot melt the butter

2. Add bag of marshmallows, and stir until the marshmallows are smooth

3. Remove from heat. Combine with trix until the cereal is fully coated

4. Place mixture in greased 9x13 baking pan, and press lightly until it’s flat

5. Let set

Glaze

• In bowl, add powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract and stir until it is smooth

• Add food dye until it is the color you like

Donut

• Combine dry ingredients

• Add wet ingredients

• Once all the ingredients are combined it is time to roll out the dough. With a rolling pin roll out the dough on a floured surface, about 1 inch thick

• With a circle cookie cutter, cut the dough

• Slice the trix crispy in half and sandwich the krispy between two dough circles. Press and seal the edges.

Fry

• Heat vegetable oil over mid to low heat (5 minutes)

• Gently place donut in oil until it is light golden brown. Flip the donut over until each side is brown. Remove donut and place donut on cooling rack (make sure you have something under rack to catch any excess grease drips)

• While the donut is slightly warm, dip the top of the donut in glaze and add sprinkles if you would like.

(Note: Use extra caution when frying anything in hot oil.

Let the used oil cool completely before discarding. Dispose in a container in the garbage.)

Let the donuts completely cool. They are ready to serve.

Enjoy your homemade donuts !

They are best eaten within 24 hrs.
