Equipment
- tongs
- Squeeze Bottle or Spoon
- Toothpick (optional)
Ingredients
Donuts
- 6-12 Plain Donuts (glazed or unglazed, your choice)
- 6-12 pairs Plastic Vampire Fangs (one pair per donut)
- as needed Red Gel Food Coloring or Red Decorating Gel
- Chocolate Sprinkles Optional, for extra flair
- Edible Glitter Optional, for extra flair
Instructions
- Prepare Your Supplies: Gather your donuts, vampire fangs, and red gel. Have a clean surface ready for decorating.
- Insert the Fangs: Gently push the vampire fangs into the center of each donut. Angle them slightly for a more realistic (or should we say, unrealistic) vampire look. You might need to carefully create a small opening with a toothpick first.
- Add the "Blood": Using a squeeze bottle or a small spoon, drizzle the red gel food coloring or decorating gel around the base of the fangs. Let it drip down the sides of the donut for a gory, yet delicious, effect.
- Add Decorations (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles or edible glitter over the "blood" for extra flair.
- Let Set: Allow the gel to set slightly before serving. This prevents smudging and allows the colors to pop.
- Serve and Enjoy!: Arrange your Vampire Donuts on a platter and watch them disappear!
