Equipment
Method
- Line a tray with parchment paper to keep your workspace clean.
- Prepare the plastic vampire teeth by gently flexing each set so they spring open easily.
- Take one glazed donut and press a set of vampire teeth into the center hole. If needed, widen the opening slightly with your fingers first to prevent cracking the glaze.
- Position 2 candy eyes above the vampire teeth to create a face. Use a tiny dot of frosting if needed to secure them in place.
- Apply red icing gel or syrup from the corners of the mouth, allowing it to drip naturally for a blood effect. Add some underneath the teeth as well for extra gruesomeness.
- Repeat the process with the remaining donuts.
- Let the donuts rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the gel to set slightly before serving.
- Arrange on a platter and serve at your Halloween gathering.

Notes
For a fun variation, try using chocolate-glazed donuts with white gel 'drool' for a reverse vampire look. Mini donuts can create adorable bite-sized monsters—just cut the plastic teeth in half to fit.
These treats pair wonderfully with themed beverages like 'blood punch' (cranberry juice mixed with ginger ale) or other Halloween-inspired snacks.
Store any leftover vampire donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, though they're best enjoyed fresh. Remove the plastic teeth before storing.
