The Mini Donut Maker Saves You a Trip to the Coffee Shop

— May 31, 2011 — Lifestyle
When most people crave donuts, they may find themselves hitting up the local coffee shop or Krispy Kreme stores. If you've ever tried making donuts yourself at home, you will know that without the proper equipment, you will likely fail. This Mini Donut Maker, however, will change that and let you feed your donut cravings without having to leave the house.

The Mini Donut Maker is very simple to use. Simply apply the dough inside the custom holes, press and wait until they are baked. It's like an Easy Bake Oven for adults, only the treats inside are much tastier. The machine makes six delightful miniature donuts and it only costs $34. I think this will be going in my kitchen soon.
