How to Make Fuzzy Monster Donut Holes

COCONUT: Coconut adds the perfect fuzzy look to these donut holes 1 (14 ounce) bag of sweetened coconut and some food coloring is all you need. I used neon orange, neon purple and neon green gel food coloring. For full instructions, click the link below (HOW TO DYE COCONUT).

CANDY MELTS OR MELTING CANDY: I used Wilton Candy Melts in lime green, orange and purple, but any melting candy will do. Work on one color at a time. Melt candy in microwave, dip donut holes in melted candy and then in colored coconut. (Scroll down for the full printable recipe)

DONUT HOLES: Store bought is the way to go. I found mine in the bakery area at Walmart.

CANDY EYES: After the donut holes are hardened with coated candy and coconut. Adhere the eyes with melted candy (I used white) poured into a squeeze bottle. (Scroll down for the full printable recipe)

Ingredients

For the Coconut:

1 (14 ounce) bag sweetened coconut flakes
neon purple gel food coloring
neon orange gel food coloring
neon green gel food coloring

For the Donut Holes:

1 (14 ounce) container glazed donut holes
1 cup orange candy melts
1 cup purple candy melts
1 cup vibrant green candy melts
OPTIONAL: 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening per color

For the Candy Eyes:

assorted candy eye sizes
1 cup white candy melts
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening

Instructions

For the Coconut:

Equally divide coconut into small zip top bags.
Add a small amount of food coloring to the bag with the coconut. A different color per bag.
Rub color and coconut together.
Pour into a bowl or container to dry.

For the Donut Holes:

ONLY WORK WITH ONE COLOR AT A TIME
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour candy melts into a microwave safe bowl (one bowl per color), with shortening.
Heat on high 1 minute, stir until melted and creamy. If the candy isn't melted continue heating in 30 second increments at 60% heat.
Spear the donut hole with a skewer, spoon melted candy over the donut making sure to cover it completely.
Place in bowl of the same color coconut (ex. purple candy melts with purple coconut), press coconut to the donut hole.
Place on prepared baking sheet.
Continue with remaining donut holes, candy melts and coconut.
Once all the donut holes have been covered in coconut, place baking sheet in refrigerator to harden.

For the Candy Eyes:

I like using tweezers for this job, it's not necessary just easier.
Pour white candy melts and shortening in a small microwave safe bowl.
Heat on high 1 minute, stir until melted and creamy.
Transfer to a squeeze bottle.
Add a dot per eye to the front of donut holes.
