Mini Eyeball Donuts for Halloween
These mini eyeball donuts for Halloween come together with just three ingredients and about 10 minutes of decorating. They make a fun and quick treat for parties, classroom celebrations, as a snack, or breakfast for kids.
Ingredients
- 12 mini chocolate donuts
- 12 eyeball icing decoration
- 3-4 teaspoons chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Arrange the mini chocolate donuts in a single layer on a plate or serving tray.
- Add a small dollop of chocolate frosting to the center of each donut. About ¼ teaspoon per donut is enough. A piping bag fitted with a small tip makes this step quick and neat, but it's completely optional.
- Place one icing decoration eye on top of the frosting with the printed side facing up. Press gently so the candy eye sticks without pushing the frosting over the sides.
- Repeat with the remaining donuts. Allow the frosting to firm up for a few minutes, then serve.
Notes
- These donuts are best enjoyed the day they're assembled.
- Use mini powdered donuts for a bright white eyeball look.
- Larger candy eyes create the best eyeball effect.
- Mini candy eyes can be used, but they won't fill the center of the donut as well.
- Try colored frosting to create monster eyes instead of classic chocolate centers.
- Keep the donuts in a cool, dry place before decorating to make them easier to handle.
- A piping bag helps keep the frosting neat, but a spoon works just as well.
