(Inside: It’s freaking ghost donuts. You can call them ghoul donuts. Or Mini-Donut Ghosts. Whatever. But they’re donuts that are ghosts. And they’re delicious–as well as ghastly and kind of fun.)
Boo!
Just kidding.
I really just needed something simple to start this conversation that was related in some way to Ghost Donuts.
Boo was the best I could do.
So sorry.
The key here is that the Ghost Donuts are all of the following:
- adorable
- tasty
- fun
- Halloween-ey
So, therefore, you must make them for your kids (or yourself) for the upcoming All-Hallows-Eve.
I mean, seriously.
THEY’RE SO ADORABLE.
Ok. Piece said.
Just enjoy this Ghost Donut Recipe.
That’s all I ask.
Here’s a cute video of the making of the ghost donuts. Enjoy that too? Please?

Ghost Donuts
It's freaking ghost donuts. You can call them ghoul donuts. Or Mini-Donut Ghosts. Whatever. But they're donuts that are ghosts. And they're delicious--as well as ghastly and kind of fun.
Ingredients
- 1 box of white cake mix, any brand
- 1 egg
- 1/4 C. vegetable oil
- 1 C. water
- 10 oz Wilton Bright White Candy Melts
- Mini chocolate chips
- Regular size chocolate chips
- Mini donut pan
- Large freezer bag
- Kitchen scissors
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a mini donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the box of cake mix to the egg, vegetable oil and water.
- Scoop the donut batter into the freezer bag, snip a small corner of the bag and gently squeeze the batter into the prepared mini donut wells.
- Bake the donut for about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Once the donuts have cooled, gently remove them from the mini donut pan and set aside.
- Line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Pour the bright white candy melts into a microwave safe dish and heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring occasionally until melted.
- Once the chocolate has melted, let it cool a few minutes and then carefully dip each mini donut into the melted chocolate, flip it over so it's completely covered and lift out with a fork. Gently tap the fork down and allow the excess melted chocolate drip off the donut. Place the donut on the lined baking sheet.
- Place one of the larger chocolate chips tip down in the center of the donut and then give the ghost donut two eyes using the mini chocolate chips.
- Repeat with all the donuts.
