Halloween Donuts
Spooky FUN Spider Web Donuts. So easy you'll want to make them again and again!
Servings: 12 Spider Webs
Equipment
Ingredients
- one dozen pre-made plain cake donuts unglazed
- 1 can 16 ounce can of frosting I used Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate
- one cup powdered sugar OR a tube of store-bought white frosting
- 1 tbsp milk you don't need this if you're a tube of frosting
- toothpicks
- 12 spider rings washed and dried
Instructions
- scoop 1/4 of the tub of frosting into a small pan
- heat slowly over low heat until it's melted
- set out a large baking sheet to hold the finished donuts while the frosting hardens up
- while the frosting heating up sift the powdered sugar if you plan to use it, you can use store-bought frosting instead
- then slowly add the milk in small amounts to the sugar, stirring after each addition, until its an icing consistency put it in a heavy-duty ziplock and clip the corner off for a tip OR load it in a reuseable icing bag
- once the frosting has melted remove it from the heat
- take one plain donut and dip it in the frosting, lift it up, allow it to drip a bit then dip it in a second time, this method gives you complete thick coverage
- lay it on the prepared baking sheet
- dip two more the same way
- add more frosting to the pan and let it melt while putting the webs on the donuts
- on the first donut you dipped make 3 concentric "imperfect circles" around the top of the donut with the icing you made OR the store-bought frosting
- feather it out using a toothpick to make a web
- add a spider ring
- repeat with the other two donuts
- then repeat with the rest of the donuts, working in batches of three
- let them sit for a while to firm up and they're party ready!
Notes
Working in batches of three gives the first donut time to set up just enough so the white icing doesn't just ooze away.
