Bloodshot Monster Eyeball Doughnuts Ingredients

• cake mix (we used Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Cake Mix)
• eggs
• water
• vegetable oil
• White Wilton Candy Melts
• Red Icing
• Black Icing

Supplies

You will also need the following supplies:

• Wilton Donut Pan
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Non-stick cooking spray
• Piping bags and #2 round tip (optional)
• Wilton Melting Pot (optional)

 Making Bloodshot Monster Eyeball Doughnuts 

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray. Then, mix cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Pour doughnut mix into a measuring cup for easy pouring. Pour the doughnut mix into the pan, making sure not to fill all the way to the top. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Melt white candy melts as per package directions and dip the top of each donut into the melted white candy.

Step 3: Place an unmelted candy melt in the center of each doughnut. (You could also try using a mini marshmallow instead.)

Step 4: Use red icing to draw squiggly lines (aka veins) on each doughnut. Then, using black icing, draw a dot on the center of each candy melt.

Pro Tip: You can draw using the gel icing tubes or add the icing to a piping bag and pipe the details on with a #2 round tip.

All set! Your Bloodshot Monster Eyeball Doughnuts are ready to enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed this recipe and that you and your family have a very happy Halloween!
