Instructions
1
In a large pot, melt 1/4 cup of butter over low heat.
2
Add the bag of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
3
Remove the pot from heat and fold in 10 cups of Trix cereal until each piece is well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking pan and gently press it down to create an even layer. Allow it to cool and set for approximately 30 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth, and add blue food coloring until you achieve your desired color.
6
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
7
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and honey.
8
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 inch thick.
9
Use a circle cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes from the dough.
10
Carefully slice the cooled Trix marshmallow treat into halves. Place a half in between two donut shapes and press the edges to seal tightly.
11
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
12
Gently place each stuffed donut in the hot oil, frying until each side turns a light golden brown. Flip as needed. Remove the donuts and let them drain on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet to catch any excess oil.
13
While the donuts are still slightly warm, dip the tops into the prepared glaze and, if desired, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles.
14
Allow the donuts to cool completely before serving. They are best enjoyed within 24 hours.
