Ready? Let’s get spooky delicious!

Step 1: Add the Chocolate Donut Hole “Body”

Step 2: Attach the Candy Eyes

Using icing as glue, add two little dots on the back of your candy eyes and stick them to the donut hole. Suddenly, your sweet treat comes to life with personality!

Step 3: Draw Spider Legs with Icing

Take your plain donut and draw four spider legs on each side with icing. They don’t have to be perfect—in fact, wonky legs make them look even cuter.

Storing and Keeping Your Donuts Fresh

Keep your donuts in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days. If refrigerated, let them warm slightly before serving.
