Ingredients
Scale
12 plain donuts (glazed or powdered)
1 cup white candy melts or white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or coconut oil
2 ounces black candy melts or dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil
Instructions
If your donuts are not white, prepare a simple white glaze by melting 1 cup white candy melts with 2 tablespoons shortening. Stir until smooth.
Dip each donut into the white glaze, ensuring it is fully coated. Let excess glaze drip off. Place donuts on a wire rack set over parchment paper to set.
Melt the black candy melts with 1 tablespoon shortening in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth.
Transfer the melted black candy to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
Pipe ghost faces onto the set white donuts. Create two small dots for eyes and an ‘O’ shape for the mouth.
Allow the faces to set completely before serving.
Notes
For powdered donuts, you can skip the white glaze and pipe faces directly onto the powdered surface.
If using donut holes, insert a lollipop stick into each and dip them in the white glaze. Once set, pipe on the ghost faces.
You can also use black edible marker or black icing for the faces.
