# What You’ll Need:

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
If using store-bought donuts, unwrap and arrange on a serving platter. If using homemade, ensure donuts are completely cooled before decorating to prevent icing from melting.
02 -
Drizzle or spread the red icing over the top of each donut, allowing it to drip down the sides for a bloody effect. For added spookiness, mix a small amount of chocolate syrup or strawberry jam with red food coloring and apply as desired.
03 -
Place two candy eyes on each donut to create vampire faces. Sprinkle black sprinkles around the eyes and edges to mimic messy vampire hair or shadows.
04 -
Insert plastic vampire fangs into the center hole of each donut for dramatic effect. Add additional icing or jam drizzles to enhance the dripping blood appearance.
05 -
Arrange the decorated donuts on a festive platter and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
# Helpful Hints:

Best consumed same day for freshness. Use baked donuts for a lighter alternative. Decorating donuts can be a fun Halloween party activity for children.
