This Rainbow Donuts Recipe Is The Cutest St. Patrick's Day Dessert

And just like that, it's time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day once again, where rainbows are a staple and you’ll be sure to find a pot of gold at the end! 🍀 Rainbow food has yet to fade away any time soon, but what about turning your food into actual rainbows – clouds and all?

You’re definitely in luck (wink wink) for finding this rainbow donuts recipe now! Gear up for St. Paddy’s Day this year with a little sugary sweetness and tons of color with these rainbow donuts! Let's get into the recipe! 🌈

Ingredients for Rainbow Donuts

Plain glazed donuts
Rainbow sprinkles
Donut icing
Shredded coconut

Directions for Rainbow Donuts

Cut your donuts in half using a sharp, serrated knife.
Set your icing in a shallow dish. Dip the tops of each donut half into the icing.
Starting with your pink (or red) sprinkles, line the outside edge of the donut, creating the first "arc" of the rainbow.
Continue adding sprinkles in rainbow order until the whole donut is covered.
Add a little more icing to the top of the donut ends and place a pinch of shredded coconut on top for the "clouds"!

Try to choose donuts that have a very round shape, so the rainbows turn out with more of an arc.

Be careful not to leave your donuts sitting for too long after you’ve iced them. You’ll need the icing to still be wet/tacky when you add the sprinkles so they stay on securely. Plus, you want 'em to look flawless for all the Instagram pics!

Avoid making your rows of sprinkles overly thick or else you won’t be able to fit in all of the colors of the rainbow. We need the full spectrum!

🎶 Somewhere over the rainbow… there are rainbow donuts! 🎶 These rainbow donuts will be a fun recipe to make with everyone in the family since you can use pre-made donuts – no oven required.

We don’t know about you, but we’re all set for St. Paddy’s Day now! If you're in search of more fun St. Patrick's Day recipes, check out our list of lucky green cocktails, festive green pasta recipes, and try your hand at these delicious dessert shots!

This Is My Dream Sydney Sweeney & Billie Eilish Sister Movie

When Sydney Sweeney showed up to the Met Gala red carpet rocking a jet black bob, the entire Brit + Co team thought she was Billie Eilish — and I immediately started daydreaming about these incredible women playing sisters! We know from Anyone But You and SNL that both Sydney and Billie can balance humor and heart, and I am convinced they need to headline a sister comedy, like, right now. I asked AI to write the plot of a (very hypothetical, unconfirmed) Billie Eilish and Sydney Sweeney movie so, for now, we can daydream even more!

Billie Eilish And Sydney Sweeney's Sister Roadtrip Comedy

Sister Vibes

In Sister Vibes, Sydney Sweeney would star as Ruby opposite Billie Eilish's Lily. These two sisters might have opposite personalities, but they're both at a crossroads in their lives. Ruby is a meticulous, Type-A oldest daughter who's always played it safe in the corporate job she hates. Lily is a free-spirited artist struggling to find her place in the world, and although she dreams of making it big, she's afraid of losing her authentic self.

Feeling totally stuck and unsure about their futures, the sisters decide to go on a big roadtrip to fulfill their desire for adventure. As they make their way across the country (snacks in-hand and roadtrip playlist at full volume), they learn more about their dreams, themselves, and each other than they could have hoped for. And it wouldn't be a comedy without a memorable cast of characters Ruby and Lily encounter along the way! Pedro Pascal? Ayo Edebiri? Lindsay Lohan? (It's a trick question because I want to see all of the above!)

In their journey, Ruby and Lily encounter mishaps, unexpected detours, and some seriously profound self-discovery. From mistaken identities and spontaneous dance parties to moments that take their breath away, Sister Vibes would capture the essence of what it's like to be a young woman in 2024 with authenticity and relatability.Through the ups and downs, Ruby and Lily's bond as sisters is tested, but it always comes out stronger on the other side.

In this Billie Eilish and Sydney Sweeney movie, their characters discover that their greatest adventure is simply accepting who they truly are and supporting each other no matter what. As cheesy as that sounds — it's so important (and actually more difficult IRL than it sounds!).With its blend of comedy, heart, and vibrant wit, this contemporary comedy would celebrate the strength and resilience of women today. It explores themes of self-acceptance, authenticity, and the importance of meaningful connections in a digital age.

Would you see a movie starring Billie Eilish and Sydney Sweeney? Because I would be all over this! If you love daydreaming about your favorite stars in new movies, check out 5 Leading Ladies We'd Love To See In A Paul Mescal Rom-Com!

Dunkin's Fall Menu Has Made An Early Return With All Things Pumpkin Spice

Now, there's even morePSL to sip on this season, with the Dunkin'Donuts fall menu drop. Announced on August 16 (it's never too early), the wait is officially over for the coffee chain's pumpkin-filled lineup! Celebrate fall with the return of Dunkin's Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, Nutty Pumpkin Coffee, Pumpkin Cake Donut, and more seasonal menu items. Here's what's available to order today to amp up *all* the fall feels.

Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte

Dunkin's PSL stirs together fall spices, sweet Pumpkin Swirl, and even sweeter vanilla to craft a seasonal drink *so* irresistible, it's worth ordering on the reg. Espresso and milk are added to the flavor mix before everything gets topped off with plenty of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar – which is 100% necessary, BTW, for the autumnal vibes.

Nutty Pumpkin Coffee

The Dunkin' Donuts fall menu just *wouldn't* be the same without the Nutty Pumpkin Coffee. Back by popular demand, this caffeinated drink can be ordered with hot or iced coffee. From there, cream, Pumpkin Swirl syrup, and hazelnut syrup assist in bringing the season to your sip. (P.S. the Pumpkin Swirl syrup can be added to any Dunkin' drink as a customization this fall!)

Pumpkin Cake Donut

It's all in the name, baby. And since cake donuts are the best variety around, we know we'll be obsessing over Dunkin's perfectly-glazed Pumpkin Cake Donut all fall long.

MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole Treats

Made conveniently bite-sized, these donut holes are a great on-the-go option for getting your pumpkin spice fix.

Pumpkin Muffin

The pumpkin muffin features a super succulent inside, all while the top is covered in crumbly, buttery streusel and a nice drizzling of white icing. It's the go-to companion for your pumpkin spice latte.

Maple Sugar Bacon

Maple Sugar Bacon season has arrived, too. Caramelized with sweet syrup, this Dunkin' Donuts fall menu item is available to order as the Maple Sugar Snackin’ Bacon for a quick bite – or the more filling Maple Sugar Bacon Breakfast Sandwich.

If you're not a Dunkin' Rewards member in time for pumpkin spice season, rethink your approach to drive-thru coffee. Starting September 1, Dunkin’ Rewards members can enjoy the following one-time offers:

Free Coffee Mondays*, where you can kick off the week with a free medium hot or iced coffee with purchase.
Free order of hashbrowns* with a breakfast sandwich purchase.
$3 medium hot or iced Signature Latte*, including the new Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte.

*All offers are limited to 1 per member.
