Eyeball Donuts are a spooky, fun, and super-easy Halloween treat. Using mini powdered donuts, colorful chocolate melts, chocolate chips, and a little red icing, you can create creepy-cute edible eyeballs that kids (and adults!) will love. No baking required – just decorate and enjoy.

Halloween treats are always to much fun to make. Each year, I love to add to the fun with fun foods like Crescent Roll Witch Hats, Frankenstein Hot Chocoalte Spoons, and Reese’s Pumpkin Spiders.

Add the Eye: Spread frosting onto the bottom of a chocolate melt.

Place the chocolate melt in the center of the mini powdered donut.

Add the Pupil:
Add chocolate frosting to the chocolate chip.

Press the chocolate chip in the center of the chocolate melt.

Create Bloodshot Effect:
Use red icing to draw thin lines radiating from the pupil to give a spooky, bloodshot look.

Let Set:
Allow the icing to harden completely before serving.

Expert Tips

Use a toothpick to dab icing onto the chocolate chips. It is a nice small utensil that does the trick without getting frosting all over the place.

Variations

Use white chocolate melts for a classic eyeball look, or try orange or green for a monster-themed treat.
Add sprinkles or edible glitter for a fun, festive twist.
