Chicks have hatched at LeeLee's house

     I have wanted to try out a fun new Easter dessert.  I found the recipe for these cute little chicks in the newest issue of Family Circle magazine.
     I thought they were cake pops but they are not.  They are doughnut holes.  How easy is that!

     So to get started you need these ingredients:
     Mini chocolate chips
     Three and a half cups of yellow dyed coconut  ( put coconut and three-five shakes of yellow food color in a baggie.  Shake to the tunes of Shania Twain until you reach the color desired).
     Cake doughnut holes you have purchased from your local bakery
     Frosting
     Some kind of soft, pliable candy to cut into a chicks beak.  I had fruit snacks on hand and so that is what I used.

      Measure out one fourth cup of frosting and save it.  Microwave the remaining frosting for two to three minutes until it is the consistency of honey.  Stab the doughnut hole with a skewer and dip it into the melted frosting.  Cover completely and then tap on side of frosting to shake off excess.

     Roll your doughnut hole into the colored coconut.  Cover completely.  Put on cookie rack to set up while you dip the rest of the doughnut holes.

     After you have rolled all of the doughnut holes in the frosting and coconut you are going to place the one fourth cup of remaining frosting in a decorator bag.

     Now, very carefully, you will pipe a small amount of frosting on an equally small chocolate chip and carefully place it on the little chick-a-dee.  Next roll out the fruit snack in between your fingers as flat as you possibly can and with a pair of scissors cut out a beak shape and place it right smack in between the chicks eyes.  How easy and cute is that!
