These monster donuts are really mini-cakes! They use a boxed cake mix so they rise nice and high and can be easily decorated! Perfect for a Halloween party.
Follow the instructions on the cake mix.
And get the ingredients incorporated. Don’t over mix.
You’ll need a donut pan for this recipe, I use this donut pan from Wilton. Pour the mix into the donut pan, leaving some room at the top for the donuts to expand as they cook.
Once cooked, pop out of the pan and let cool.
Next you’ll melt the candy melts and spread on top of the cooled donuts. To melt the candy melts you can microwave them in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals. Stir after every 30 seconds. The key to melting candy melts is that they don’t look melted until you stir!
You can also use this Wilton melting pot to make it really easy!
Before the topping dries, use the candy eyes (I used these) and place randomly on top, gently pushing eyes into the melted candy melts.
Set out to let cool completely.
There is such a variety you can do with these donuts – colorful sprinkles would be great too! Enjoy.
