Decorating Mini Halloween Donuts

This how-to guide is simple because it starts with some store-bought donuts! You can totally make them from scratch at home (try out this recipe!). But because these take a while to decorate, I like to try and skip a step to make things go a little quicker. And when you see how cute these are, you will want to get right to work! I did three different ways of decorating donuts because, to me, candy corns, pumpkins, and Frankenstein are classic to Halloween! However, once you understand how I did these, feel free to get some more colors and decorations! You could make ghosts, goblins, witches, and whatever you love! This is such a fun activity to do with your kids during this holiday. My kids adore making their very own monster creations!

Ingredients to Decorate Mini Halloween Donuts

This list of ingredients mostly includes all of the different colors and decorations. You can easily switch these up to make these unique for your family! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Mini Donuts: I bought some of these at the store (get glazed or plain). But you can easily make them at home using this recipe! Yellow Candy Melts: You can’t have a complete candy corn donut without some yellow candy melts! Orange Candy Melts: Orange is a classic Halloween color! You will use this for the candy corn donuts and the pumpkin donuts! White Candy Melts: You will use this color to complete your candy corn donuts. I also think another design of a white ghost would be darling using this color as well! Green Candy Melts: I love the color of green candy melts because it is perfect for Frankenstein’s face. Black Candy Melts: The black is used for Frankenstein’s hair but could also be used for a cat design or even a cute little witch hat! Green Mike and Ike Candies: If you want your pumpkin to really look like a pumpkin, then you need a stem! This goes right in the middle, and I love that it’s edible too! Small Eyeball Sprinkles: Look for these on the baking aisle at your local grocery store. Especially around Halloween! Edible Black Marker: You will use this to draw on Frankenstein’s stitches.

How to Decorate Mini Halloween Donuts

Before we begin with all of the individual designs, you must get everything set up and ready to go in your kitchen! This will help the process go faster and allow the candy melts to cool perfectly in place on your donuts!

Candy Corn Design

This mini Halloween donut design is so cute and festive. In fact, you could add this (or any of these) onto a Halloween Charcuterie Board and your guests will be fighting about who gets to eat the cute donuts!

Pumpkin Design

A pumpkin is a classic Halloween (and fall) decoration! This is the easiest of all three mini Halloween donut designs but one that can’t be left out. It’s especially cute when you add in the edible candy stem!
