DONUT HOLE EYEBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• In the top middle of each donut hole, place a small amount of red gel, then place a candy eye ball on top.
• Use the red gel to squiggle the bloody veins all around the eye.
• Enjoy!

CAKE EYEBALLS

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch cake or two 9-inch cakes. Allow to cool slightly in the pan, then remove to a rack, cover with a dish towel and let cool completely.
• Break off sections of the cake and crumble in a large bowl. When finished, you should have a bunch of very fine cake crumbs. Using a rubber spatula, work the frosting into the cake until it is no longer visible. (Even if you use white frosting with red velvet cake, the white will eventually blend in entirely.)
• Next, roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (a small ice cream scoop helps with this) and set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This is important: Pop 'em in the freezer, uncovered, for at least an hour. The cake balls need to be very firm before coating them.
• When the cake balls are nice and firm, place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Don't let the bowl touch the water.) Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan. Add the cake balls one at a time to the melted white chocolate and gently roll to coat. Using a fork, lift out the cake balls, then tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate. With a toothpick, push the ball off of the fork and back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Let set at room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Decorate with gel icing to look like eyeballs.

DOUGHNUT HOLES

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon sweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Cut 1 pound pizza dough into 24 pieces. Place 3 dark chocolate chunks in the middle of each piece, pinching the dough to enclose; roll each into a ball. Working in batches, fry the dough balls in 2 inches of 350 degrees F vegetable oil, turning, until golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then roll in the sugar mixture while still warm.

DOUGHNUT HOLE EYEBALLS

Steps:

• Dip doughnut holes in melted white candy melts; lift out with a fork, letting the excess drip off.
• Top each with a gummy ring, then use a dab of white candy melts to secure a brown mini M&M to the middle of each.
• Pipe melted red candy melts for veins.

FILL-YOUR-OWN DOUGHNUT HOLES

Steps:

• Fill a medium Dutch oven with 3 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Pop open the can of biscuits, cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, roll each into a ball and then press flat like a small saucer.
• Gently drop half of the dough pieces into the hot oil and fry, flipping them as they cook so all sides brown evenly, until puffed and dark golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool on a sheet pan lined with a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Place the raspberries in the bowl of a mini food processor or mash by hand until smooth. Fold the mixture into the whipped topping and transfer it to piping bags or squeeze bottles. Add 1 teaspoon of hot water to the jar of fudge. Stir until loosened and slightly warm, adding more water if necessary, then transfer the fudge sauce to piping bags or squeeze bottles
• Use a chopstick to poke a hole in one side of each doughnut to make a little space inside. Gently pipe the filling inside each doughnut until you feel it expand a little in your fingers, then stop and place on a cooling rack filled-side up. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

DOUGHNUT HOLE CRABS

Steps:

• To make crab claws: Slice a small V out of the face of each gummy fish.
• To make crab feet: Slice the red licorice lace into six 1/2-inch pieces.
• Put the red melting candy and vegetable shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until completely melted.
• Using a wooden skewer, dip the glazed doughnut hole into the bowl of melted candy to thoroughly coat; transfer to a piece of parchment paper. Let set and then dip again and return to the parchment paper. Place 2 small candy eyeballs on top of the doughnut hole while the melted candy is still wet. Let set, about 5 minutes.
• Use the wooden skewer to poke 3 holes into each side of the doughnut hole where the back feet would go; insert the licorice lace pieces into the holes. Use the skewer to make holes on each side of the front of the doughnut hole where claws would go. Dip the tails of the gummy fish in the melted candy and insert them into the holes. Let set, about 5 minutes.

DONUT HOLE EYEBALLS

Steps:

• Line a sheet pan with a sheet of parchment paper.
• Place the green melting wafers into a bowl over a pan of hot water, also known as a double boiler, until they are melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Dip the donut holes one by one into the bowl of melted green candy while it is still on the double boiler; lift out with a fork, letting the excess drip off. Place on the sheet pan. Secure a candy eye to the middle of each coated donut hole.
• Melt the red melting wafers according to the package instructions, approximately 2 minutes in a microwave or 3 to 5 minutes over a double boiler. Put the melted red candy into a piping bag and snip off the end.
• Pipe vertical lines of the melted red candy on the donut holes to resemble veins.
• Set aside to set for 15 minutes before serving.
