Now, as a mom to three, my kids LOVE when I buy Lucky Charms at Walmart. I cannot pass by the cereal aisle without them professing their love for this iconic cereal. I guess I can’t blame them since Lucky Charms are delicious and super fun to bake with.

Lucky Charms Marshmallows TOTALLY added the final magical touch to these Unicorn Donuts.

I don’t know about you but that makes my inner kid smile

Plus, imagine all the Magical Unicorn Donuts I could make with a box of cereal? Totally awesome!

Yesterday, my kids had a BLAST making these Magical Unicorn Donuts with me! Best of all, they are semi-homemade so they actually were MEGA quick to put together. Ideal for parties, or a weekday treat, these unicorn donuts are amazing, and quite pretty if I do say so myself!
