Jacqueline Longo Senior Program Manager, Capacity Building

Have you found your favorite doughnut recipe but are unsure of what you want to put on top? Or, maybe you’ve got a local doughnut shop you love — or mini doughnut rounds on hand —  and you’re ready for a doughnut decorating party! In any case, take a look at these seriously fun, camp-inspired topping combos that will put a smile on everyone’s face.

If you're missing an ingredient, craving something new, or need to make some dietary substitutions, go for it! Use this list as inspiration and use your creativity to make it your own. Whether you're in the mood for something crunchy, sweet, or full of chocolate, these doughnuts will hit the spot.

The Happy Camper

One of the best parts of camp? All the snacks, of course. What better way to celebrate camp —  no matter where you're at —  than with a doughnut loaded with all of your go-to treats? Here's our frosting and topping pairing of choice!

Frosting: vanilla or strawberry

Toppings: rainbow sprinkles, marshmallows, potato chips (crushed), and chocolate-covered pretzels

S’more Fun

What is camp without a s’more? Enjoy our favorite camp snack as a doughnut.

Frosting: chocolate or vanilla

Toppings: graham cracker crumbs, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips

Worms & Dirt

There are few things better than time spent outside on a beautiful summer day... and summer-themed desserts.  This doughnut creation is inspired by just that. Enjoy the remix of a childhood classic!

Frosting: chocolate or vanilla

Toppings: chocolate cookie crumbs and gummy worms

Breakfast for Dinner

Breakfast for dinner is a crowd favorite. Bring together the sweet and savory of these two favorite mealtimes with the frosting and topping pairing below.
