Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 10 plain donuts (store-bought or homemade)
Toppings
- Red icing, enough to drizzle or spread on 10 donuts
- Black sprinkles, for decoration
- Candy eyes, 2 per donut (about 20 total)
Instructions
- Prepare Donuts: If using store-bought donuts, place them on a clean surface ready for decorating. If making homemade donuts, ensure they have cooled completely before starting to decorate.
- Apply Red Icing: Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle or spread the red icing evenly over the top of each donut, mimicking the look of dripping blood for a vampire effect.
- Add Candy Eyes and Sprinkles: Immediately after icing, place two candy eyes on each donut to create the vampire’s eerie stare. Sprinkle black sprinkles around or on the icing to add texture and enhance the spooky appearance.
- Serve: Let the icing set for a few minutes, then serve the donuts fresh and enjoy your vampire-themed treat!
Notes
- You can use store-bought red icing or make your own by mixing powdered sugar with red food coloring and a little milk to the desired consistency.
- If you want a less sweet option, choose plain or lightly glazed donuts as the base.
- For added flavor, consider adding a hint of vanilla or almond extract to the icing.
- These donuts are best enjoyed the day they are decorated to maintain freshness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
