Vampire Donuts Halloween Treat (Printer-Friendly)
Festive vampire donuts decorated with red icing, candy eyes, and sprinkles for a quick Halloween delight.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Donuts
01 -
10 plain donuts (store-bought or homemade)
→ Decorations
02 -
1 cup red icing (store-bought tube or homemade glaze tinted with red food coloring)
03 -
2 tablespoons black sprinkles
04 -
20 candy eyes (2 per donut)
→ Optional Toppings
05 -
Plastic vampire fangs for decoration
06 -
Chocolate syrup or strawberry jam for a “bloody” effect
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
If using store-bought donuts, unwrap and place them on a serving tray. For homemade donuts, ensure they are completely cooled before decorating to prevent icing melting.
02 -
Drizzle, pipe, or spread red icing evenly over the tops of each donut. Allow it to drip slightly down the sides for a bloody appearance. Optionally, add a mix of strawberry jam or chocolate syrup with red food coloring for added effect.
03 -
Affix two candy eyes per donut to create vampire faces. Sprinkle black sprinkles around the eyes and edges to mimic messy vampire hair or shadows.
04 -
Insert plastic vampire fangs into the donut centers for dramatic effect. Drizzle additional icing or jam for extra 'dripping blood' detail.
05 -
Arrange the donuts on a festive platter and serve immediately. Best consumed the same day or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For a spookier twist, try chocolate or red velvet donuts as a base.
02 -
Using baked donuts instead of fried offers a lighter option.
03 -
Allow kids to decorate their own donuts as a fun Halloween activity.
