Ingredients
10DonutsUnglazed, Homemade or Store-bought
2cupsYellow chocolateMelted
½cupRed chocolate Melted
½cupBlack chocolateMelted
Instructions
Melt yellow chocolate in a large bowl. Dip a donut face down into the bowl of melted yellow chocolate. Place it on a sheet of wax paper and let the chocolate set.
Fill a piping bag with melted black chocolate and draw Pikachu's eyes, nose and mouth.
Fill a piping bag with melted red chocolate and draw two cheeks.
Now, make Pikachu's ears. Fill a piping bag with yellow chocolate and draw two "leaf-like" shapes on a sheet of wax paper. They should both be about the same size. Let the chocolate set. Then, fill a piping bag with melted black chocolate and draw the black tips on these yellow ears. Let the chocolate set again.
Use a knife to make two cuts along the top sides of the donut.
Remove the yellow ears from the wax paper and push them gently into those cuts and enjoy!
Notes
Homemade or store-bought donuts can be used. Just make sure they are plain and not glazed.
To color white chocolate, you must use oil-based food coloring.
An easier option than coloring white chocolate is to use pre-colored candy melts. This will save you a lot of time.
Make sure you pipe extra ears because they are fragile and can break easily during assembling.

These can be stored in a covered container at room temperature for 2 days.
