Ingredients

Scale

Donut Base

  • 12 glazed donuts

Frosting and Decorations

  • 12 ounces white frosting
  • 12 sets plastic vampire fangs
  • 1 package large candy eyeballs (approximately 24 eyeballs)
  • Multiple colors “jimmies” sprinkles (about 1/4 cup)
  • Multiple colors sugar sprinkles (about 1/4 cup)
  • Licorice pastels (about 12 pieces for eyebrows)

Instructions

  1. Frost the Donuts: Spread an even layer of white frosting over the top surface of each glazed donut to create a smooth base for decorations.
  2. Add the Vampire Fangs: Firmly press one pair of plastic vampire fangs deep into the hole of each donut so they sit securely and create a spooky mouth effect.
  3. Attach Candy Eyes: Place two candy eyeballs above the fangs on each donut, positioning them close together to give your monster donuts a playful, eerie gaze.
  4. Sprinkle Decorations: Lightly shake the multi-colored jimmies sprinkles evenly over the frosted donuts, then add sugar sprinkles to fill in any gaps, covering the frosting with vibrant color and texture.
  5. Finish with Licorice Eyebrows: Place licorice pastels on top of each donut above the eyes as eyebrows, angling them to suit your desired monster expression and add personality to each treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute white frosting with cream cheese frosting for a tangier flavor.
  • If plastic vampire fangs are not available, consider using candy corn or small candy canes shaped to resemble fangs.
  • Customize your monster faces with different colored licorice or other candy decorations.
  • To keep donuts fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 1–2 days.
  • These donuts are best assembled right before serving to keep the frosting and decorations intact and fresh-looking.
