Super Easy Spider Donuts Halloween Treat Recipe

Halloween will be here soon and it’s time to start planning some fun treats! Looking through Pinterest we see all kinds of cute Halloween treats that look like they would be awesome for any Halloween party, but unfortunately a lot of them look like a LOT of work!! Since we’re all short on time, how about a cute Halloween treat that is also EASY to make? That’s exactly what this Super Easy Spider Donuts Halloween Treat recipe is!!

Using only four ingredients, you can create some silly looking spiders from yummy chocolate mini donuts. Since they are so easy to make, they’re perfect for kids to join in and make them right along with you. The spiders use packaged mini donuts and round pretzels that are broken in half. Candy eyes are what really bring the spiders to life. You can find them at your local craft store, in some grocery store baking sections, or order them on Amazon. If you don’t have eyes, you can use mini marshmallows cut in half with a dab of icing for pupils. (Not quite the same effect, but close enough! It’s just a bit more work too.)
