Tools Needed
- Frosting Bag (optional)
- Small Frosting Tip (optional)
Ingredients
During the Halloween season you can find candy eyeballs at grocery stores, craft stores or big-box stores. And of course, always on Amazon. The other ingredients are available year-round.
- 12 Mini Chocolate Donuts
- 12 Large Candy Eyes (Amazon) or Wilton Bloody Eyes (Walmart)
- 3 Teaspoons Chocolate Frosting (give or take)
How to Make Eyeball Donuts
- Arrange the donuts in a single layer on a plate or any flat dish.
- Add a small dab of chocolate frosting in the center dip of each donut -about ¼ teaspoon is plenty, but no need to be exact. (I like to use a piping bag with a small tip to keep things quick, neat, and mess-free.)
- Gently press a candy eyeball into the frosting, eye side up. Serve and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- These creepy eyeball donuts are best enjoyed right away – don’t plan on storing them.
- Making a big batch? Grab large candy or sugar eyes (bulk bags are perfect!). The tiny ones just don’t give that eerie, wide-eyed stare.
- Keep your donuts in a cool, dry place before decorating. Warm donuts will melt into a gooey mess—more nightmare than treat!
- Want to switch things up? Try powdered donuts (or another flavor of mini donuts you love) instead of chocolate for a different spooky look.
