Ingredients
Scale
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and lump-free.
The glaze should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable. If it’s too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time. If it’s too thin, add powdered sugar a tablespoon at a time.
Dip your cooled donut bars into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donut bars on a wire rack set over parchment paper to allow the glaze to set.
Let the glaze dry completely for a smooth, shiny finish.
Notes
For a slightly thinner glaze, add a little more milk. For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar.
Ensure your donut bars are completely cool before dipping to prevent the glaze from melting off.
