Spider Donuts are one of the easiest breakfasts to make during the Halloween season using premade donuts, candy eyes and icing. They’re so fun for kids to eat too!
I love making creepy, spooky and even a little gross food during Halloween, but I always balance it out with kid-friendly options like these Halloween spider donuts. They’re the perfect mix of cute and spooky.
This isn’t really a recipe but more of a fun tutorial. You can make the donuts from scratch, but I like to keeps things easy with store-bought ingredients.
These make a fantastic breakfast before the kids head off to school, a surprise after school snack or even a classroom party treat.
If you like these spider donuts be sure to try my Spider Eggs! Their a little spookier but just as delicious and fun to eat.
