If you want to share with alot of people....do the full recipe.  If you just want to share with several.....do half the batch.  The full recipe made just over 150 with about 3 doz donut holes.
This is an easy recipe that makes you think you are eating Krispy Kremes.  But, it is very time consuming.  I always make sure Jim is around to help me so one of us can cook them while the other glazes them.

I remember Mom and some of the Aunts making Spudnuts for the elementary Halloween party.  Homemade "SPUDNUTS"  melt in your mouth!  So YUMMY!
