Ingredient Information

- Icing Decoration Eyes – Add a cute or spooky personality to your donuts, perfect for Halloween or monster-themed snacks. Typically found in the baking or cake decorating section.
- Chocolate Frosting – Acts as the “glue” to hold the eyes in place and adds extra chocolatey goodness. Look for it in the baking aisle near other canned frostings.
Storage Information
Do not store. Best if eaten immediately. If you do plan to make in advance, keep them completely covered in an airtight container at room temperature 24-48 hours before serving.
Helpful Tips
- You can use any large candy or sugar eyes, especially if you have a lot to make, and need to buy in bulk.
- The tiny candy eyes don’t look the greatest and are too small to really make the snack pop.
- Keeping the donuts in a cool, dry area before using makes it easier to handle them while applying the eyes. Otherwise, they will be melting and hard to handle without making a mess.
