This is such a simple craft and recipe that you can make them in seconds. Here is how you do it:
Step 1: Take a set of vampire teeth and place them in the hole of the donut (depending on the size of the hole of the donut, you may need to stretch the hole out a little bit).
Step 2: Open the teeth up a little bit so that the teeth fill the entire hole.
Step 3: Place two M&M’s for the eyes on the donut (the glaze on the donut should be sticky enough that the eyes stick on, but if not, you can use a small amount of frosting to help them stick).
This recipe is good for a dozen donuts. If you are planning on large amounts of guests, add ingredients as needed.

1. The Classic Jack-O’-Lantern:
Nothing says Halloween quite like a grinning jack-o-lantern. To create this classic design, start with an orange glazed donut. Using black icing or melted chocolate, draw two triangular eyes and a crooked smile. For an added touch, add a green stem using a small piece of pretzel or a candy stick.
2. Spooky Spider Webs:
Give your donuts an eerie webbed look by drizzling white icing in concentric circles on top of a chocolate or black glazed donut. Then, using a toothpick or a small icing tool, drag lines from the center to the edges to create a spider web effect. Top it off with a plastic spider for an extra creepy touch.
3. Monster Eyes:
Turn your donuts into a monster’s delight by adding edible eyes. Using candy eyeballs or M&M’s, create a pair of eyes on the donut. You can get creative with different eye sizes, shapes, and colors to give your monsters some personality.
4. Creepy Crawlers:
Use gummy worms or candy snakes to give your donuts a wriggly twist. Simply stick the candies on top of the donut or let them crawl over the sides. You can even combine this idea with the spider web design for a spooky scene.
5. Haunted Graveyard:
Transform your donuts into a haunted graveyard by crumbling chocolate cookies on top of a chocolate-frosted donut to create the “dirt.” Then, use candy bones or skeleton-shaped candies to add a spooky touch. You can even write “RIP” using white icing to complete the eerie scene.
6. Candy Corn Delight:
Embrace the iconic Halloween candy corn by arranging candy corn pieces in a circular pattern on top of a vanilla or white glazed donut. This colorful and delicious design is sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering.
7. Witches’ Hats:
Create witches’ hats by using a chocolate-glazed donut as the base and adding a Hershey’s Kiss to the center. You can use orange or black icing to draw a band around the base of the “hat.” For an extra touch, add a thin pretzel stick as the hat’s brim.
8. Ghostly Glaze:
Use white powdered donuts for a spooky ghost donut. Another option is to turn your donuts into adorable ghosts by drizzling white glaze over the top and letting it drip down the sides. Use black icing or chocolate chips to create the eyes and mouth, giving the ghosts their spooky expressions.
9. Mummy Madness:
Wrap your donuts in “bandages” by crisscrossing white icing or white fondant over a chocolate-glazed donut. Add candy eyes or use small dabs of black icing to create the mummy’s eyes.
10. Eyeball Donuts:
For a truly spine-chilling effect, use white frosting on top of the donut and drizzle red strawberry glaze over to create an eyeball design.
The key is to have fun decorating your Halloween donuts. Whether you’re making them for a party or just to enjoy yourself, these spooktacular donuts are sure to delight both kids and adults alike.
