Baked Snowman Donuts Recipe

Snowman donuts are an absolutely perfect treat for the cold winter months.  These donuts are adorably cute and will bring smiles to everyone faces.  A Nonstick Donut Pan is essential for this baking project (and I think the Mini Donut size would be a super fun treat to put in lunch boxes).
