Scale
Donut and Decoration
- 8 chocolate mini donuts
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 24 pretzel twists
- 16 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the Donuts: Remove the 8 chocolate mini donuts from their package and set them on a clean surface ready for decorating.
- Break Pretzels: Carefully break the 24 pretzel twists into pieces so that you have 8 curved pretzel pieces per donut to form the spider legs, ensuring each piece has a curve visible.
- Attach Legs: Place 4 pretzel legs on each side of each donut to resemble spider legs, pressing gently so they adhere as you continue decorating.
- Melt Chocolate Chips: Place 1/4 cup of chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Pipe Eyes: Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or small plastic bag, cut a tiny opening at the tip, and pipe two small dots of melted chocolate on the top of each donut where the eyes will go.
- Attach Candy Eyes: Press two candy eyes into the piped melted chocolate on each donut to create the spider’s eyes. Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container overnight to keep the donuts fresh.
- Be gentle when breaking pretzels to maintain their shape and ensure good-looking spider legs.
- You can substitute candy eyes with small white and black icing dots if candy eyes are unavailable.
