Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube (16.5 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Orange, black, and purple food coloring
- Halloween-themed sprinkles
- Candy eyes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Separate the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds.
- Use a small cookie cutter or a knife to cut a hole in the center of each biscuit half to form a donut shape.
- Place the donut shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Divide the frosting into three small bowls.
- Add orange food coloring to one bowl, black to another, and purple to the third. Stir until evenly colored.
- Dip each cooled donut into one of the colored frostings, letting excess drip off.
- Decorate immediately with Halloween-themed sprinkles and candy eyes before the frosting sets.
- Allow the frosting to harden before serving.
Notes
- You can also use a donut pan and your favorite donut recipe for a from-scratch version.
- Get creative with your decorations! Use edible markers to draw faces or patterns.
- Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
