Easy Eyeball Donuts for Halloween

These easy eyeball donuts are the kind of Halloween treat I LOVE - ridiculously simple, no baking, no decorating skills, and the kids think they’re so fun.

You only need three store-bought ingredients, and there’s no frosting, melted chocolate, or anything else required. Just stack them together and you have an instant spooky Halloween snack!

These would be so cute for a Halloween breakfast, after-school snack, classroom party, or Halloween movie night.

Easy Halloween Eyeball Donuts

These spooky little eyeballs start with mini powdered sugar donuts and take about 15 seconds each to put together.

Ingredients

• Mini powdered sugar donuts
• Gummy Life Savers
• Brown M&M's

How to Make Eyeball Donuts

1. Lay your mini powdered donuts flat on a plate or serving tray.
2. Place one gummy Life Saver over the hole in the center of each donut.
3. Place a brown M&M in the center of the gummy candy.
4. That’s it! Serve and enjoy.

Seriously. No icing. No melting. No sticking anything together.

Just set the candies on top of the donut and call it Halloween magic.

A Super Easy Halloween Treat for Kids

I am always looking for Halloween food ideas that feel special without turning into an entire project.

These eyeball donuts are exactly that.

You can grab everything at the grocery store, assemble a whole tray in just a few minutes, and suddenly regular powdered donuts look like spooky eyeballs.

Kids get SUCH a kick out of themed food, and it really doesn't have to be complicated!

These are perfect for:

• Halloween breakfast
• A spooky after-school snack
• Halloween movie night
• A Halloween party
• A classroom celebration
• A Halloween playdate
• A Halloween snack board

You could also simply set out the donuts, gummy candies, and M&M's and let kids build their own eyeballs. It doesn't get much easier than that!

Tips for Making Eyeball Donuts

Use mini donuts. The mini powdered sugar donuts are the perfect size for the gummy Life Savers and M&M's.

Look for colorful gummy Life Savers. Different colors make the “irises” of the eyeballs look extra fun.

Brown M&M's make the best pupils. You can pick them out of a regular bag of M&M's — no special candy needed.

Assemble right before serving. Since nothing is actually attaching the candy to the donut, I recommend putting these together on the tray where you plan to serve them rather than trying to transport them fully assembled.

The Easiest Spooky Donuts Ever

There are plenty of elaborate Halloween desserts out there, but sometimes you just need something you can throw together in five minutes.

Mini powdered donuts + gummy Life Savers + brown M&M's.

Done.

And somehow, to kids, that's an eyeball.

If you’re looking for a super easy Halloween food idea that takes almost no effort, these eyeball donuts are definitely worth adding to your Halloween plans!
