Donut Hole Eyeballs Halloween Recipe
Halloween is a fun time for scary food. The Donut Hole Eyeballs Halloween Recipe is easy and tasty. These small “eyeballs” look creepy but taste sweet.
Ingredients
- 12 glazed donut holes
- ½ cup white candy melts or white chocolate
- 12 blue or green candy pieces for eyes
- 12 chocolate chips for pupils
- Red food color or red icing gel for veins
- Toothpicks or small sticks
Instructions
Prepare the Donut Holes
- Put the donut holes on a tray. Make sure they are not too soft. If they are sticky, keep them in the fridge for a few minutes.
Melt the White Chocolate
- Melt white candy melts in a small bowl. Use the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until it looks smooth.
Coat the Donut Holes
- Dip each donut hole in melted chocolate. Cover all sides. Put them on paper and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Add the Eye Center
- Put one blue or green candy on top. Press softly so it sticks. This makes the center of the eye.
Add the Pupils
- Place one chocolate chip in the middle of the candy. The flat side should be up. Now it looks like a real eyeball!
Draw the Veins
- Dip a toothpick in red food color. Draw red lines from the center to the edge. These look like blood veins.
Let Them Set
- Keep them in the fridge for 10 minutes. This helps the chocolate become hard.
Serve and Scare
- Put the eyeballs on sticks or a tray. Serve them cold. Kids will love the spooky look!
Notes
- Use glazed donut holes so the base is smooth.
- Don’t heat the chocolate too much.
- Let it cool a bit before you decorate.
- Mix red food color with a drop of water for bright veins.
- You can use different colors for the eyes.
- Use strawberry jam for a gooey blood effect if you like.
