• Donuts
• Donut Holes
• Chocolate Chips
• Piping Bag or Ziplock Bag
• Edible Eyes

Start with plain glazed, sugar, or pumpkin donuts. Avoid chocolate ones so the legs stand out.

Melt chocolate in a bowl. Dip the top half of each donut hole in the melted chocolate.

Place the dipped donut hole (chocolate side up) in the center of your donut.

While the chocolate is still wet, add edible eyes—2, 3, or go wild with 8!

Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag or ziplock with the corner snipped. Pipe 4 legs on each side.

Allow the chocolate to set. Serve and enjoy these spooky, sweet spider treats!
