Well here is a new twist on sugary, overly sweet doughnuts….SAVORY doughnuts. These macaroni and cheese doughnuts are incredibly fun for the kids to eat- and grown ups, too! I purchased my doughnut pan through Amazon—>here.
If your kids love mac and cheese then this is a must try! Would be a fun treat on April Fool’s Day too if you tell everyone they can have “doughnuts” for dinner. hee hee!
