These caramel apple cake mix donuts, topped with M&M’S® Pumpkin Spice Latte pieces are like taking a bite into Fall. There’s nothing I love more than preheating my oven and baking up something yummy in the Fall time. When I think of Fall, I can vividly smell the delicious things my mom baked. It smelled of pumpkins and apples and cinnamon. Those scents become ingrained in your memory and anytime you smell them, you are transported back in time. I love creating those special memories for my own children and they’re always happy to be my taste testers! These donuts got two big thumbs up from them!

Step 5: Place the frosting in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 20 seconds, mixing every 10 seconds. You’ll want to frosting to be slightly runny.
