THE SECRET INGREDIENT THAT EVERYONE LOVES

The secret to taking a yummy plain donut up a notch to a delicious donut is the icing. Not just any icing…..melted vanilla candy melts! Using candy melts instead of a powdered sugar glaze is so much easier. No measuring or figuring out how much sugar to how much water. Plus….IT TASTES JUST AS GOOD! So there you have it…my secret ingredient is using candy melts as the glaze. CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW I USE CANDY MELTS TO FROST COOKIES→HOW TO DECORATE SUGAR COOKIE WITH CANDY MELTS

How to Make—10 Minute Eye of Newt Halloween Donuts

  • INGREDIENTS
    • CHOCOLATE CAKE DONUTS: Store bought bakery chocolate cake donuts (without frosting)
    • CANDY MELTS: (from Wilton—found at Walmart or Michiaels) orange, purple and lime green
    • SPRINKLES: Orange, Purple and Lime Green
    • EDIBLE EYES: Various sizes
  • DIRECTIONS
    • Place donuts on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Add candy melts to a small microwave safe bowl.  NOTE:  Use only 2/3 cup of candy melts per 6 donuts.  Microwave in 30 second intervals, stir each time (it can take up to 90 seconds). 
    • Stir until creamy.  NOTE:  If the candy is too thick to drizzle you may need to add vegetable shortening (only 1 teaspoon at a time until the candy reaches the right consistency).
    • Once the candy is the right consistency, drizzle along the top first and push the candy down the sides with a spoon.  Place eyes where you’d like them and add sprinkles.
    • Place the donuts STILL on the cookie sheet in the refrigerator to harden (about 10 minutes).
