Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Glazed Donuts
- 16 ounces Pre-Made White Frosting
- Orange Gel Food Coloring
- Halloween Sprinkles
- Optional: Black gel food coloring
- Optional: Candy eyeballs
- Optional: Crushed chocolate cookies
Instructions
- Place frosting in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds until slightly runny.
- Stir in orange gel food coloring until a bright pumpkin-orange shade is achieved.
- Dip the top of each glazed donut into the frosting, twisting slightly for even coating.
- Set the frosted donuts on a wire rack to allow the frosting to firm up.
- While the frosting is still tacky, add Halloween sprinkles generously.
- Optionally, add candy eyeballs or use black gel icing to draw spooky designs.
- Let the donuts set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for brighter, smoother frosting.
- Chill donuts in the fridge for 10 minutes before dipping to prevent glaze from sliding off.
- Double-dip for a thicker, bakery-style glaze.
- Add candy decorations before the frosting hardens.
- Swap orange for green or purple glaze for different themes.
- Set out bowls of toppings for kids to decorate their own spooky donuts.
