Ingredients
Scale
Donuts and Decoration
- 8 chocolate mini donuts
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 24 pretzel twists
- 16 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzel Legs: Carefully break the pretzel twists into 8 pieces each, ensuring the curve is visible to resemble legs for each spider donut.
- Attach Legs to Donuts: Place four pretzel pieces on each side of every mini donut to form spider legs, gently pressing them against the donut surface.
- Melt Chocolate: Add the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Apply Eyes: Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag, cut the tip, and pipe two small dots of chocolate onto the top of each donut to act as glue.
- Place Candy Eyes: Press two candy eyes onto the melted chocolate dots on each donut and let the chocolate harden to secure the eyes in place.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy your spider donuts immediately or store them in an airtight container overnight to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Breaking pretzels carefully will ensure the legs look realistic and fit properly on the donuts.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a small zip-top bag and cut a tiny corner to pipe the chocolate.
- Make sure the chocolate is not too hot to avoid melting the donuts when applying the eyes.
- Store the donuts at room temperature in an airtight container; refrigeration could make donuts dry.
