Notes

  • Get all of your decorations and candy ready before you start decorating. 
  • Make the glaze last because it will thicken.
  • Work quickly once you get the glaze made. 
  • Mix and match sprinkle colors.
  • Make sure excess glaze drips off otherwise, it gets messy and drips down the side of the donuts taking the sprinkles with it.
  • Fill a piping bag with frosting or melted chocolate chips and attach a thin round tip to the piping bag. Squeeze frosting through the piping bag onto the back of the edible eye candies to stick to the Halloween donuts. 
  • Let your kids experiment with candy and decorations to design their own Halloween donut ideas.
