Halloween Dessert Cake Mix Donuts Tips for Success
- If you don’t have a donut pan, you can also use a mini muffin pan to create mini donut bites.
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors to add variety to your Halloween dessert. Chocolate, vanilla, or even pumpkin spice are great options. If you want to have fun, go wild and try a caramel apple donut. We have a great caramel crockpot recipe that requires only one ingredient.
- To make your donuts more vibrant and visually appealing, consider using food coloring in the batter.

Instructions
Donuts
- In a large bowl combine cake mix, milk, vegetable oil, egg and mix.
- Put cake mix into piping bag and pipe cake mix into donut pan. It's less messy and tends to work out better.
- Bake at 350 for about 7 minutes or until completely done.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Frosting
- Combine powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add food coloring if you'd like or you can even add cocoa powder to make a chocolate glaze.
- I'm not going to lie, my favorite is using chocolate chips but if you want festive donuts the vanilla glaze is the best option in my option.
- Once glaze is mixed, just dip your donuts in and set them on parchment paper to dry.
