Surprise the kids with this super fun and spooky treat! These Slime Monster Halloween Donuts are guaranteed to be a hit and make you The Cool Mom!
I absolutely LOVE Halloween! It has been my favorite holiday since I was a child. The dressing up, the fun, the festivities, the candy. What’s not to love?
I have also always been a fan of anything spooky, creepy or monster-y. In fact, my childhood idol was (and still is) Elvira Mistress of the Dark. I dressed up as Elvira for Halloween when I was in 3rd grade! {I used a lot of tube socks to fill out that dress!}
My daughter has inherited my love for everything Halloween . . . and then some. So any time I make a spooky treat like these donuts she gets so excited.
The best part is that these donuts are really simple to make. Just make baked donuts as usual, add some vibrant colors and candy on top. Done.
I found these awesome gummy eyeballs at Walmart in the seasonal baking section and I just had to get them.
Aren’t they the cutest!?!?
I cut the white tips off of candy corn to create spiky monster teeth.
My kiddos were obsessed with these donuts. And, these are great for younger kids too because they are more goofy than scary.
So get into the Halloween spirit. Make these Slime Monster Donuts and get ready to have some fun!
