Jack-O'-Lanterns
From: ParentsFrost plain donuts in orange frosting, then add a pumpkin face for a Halloween party dessert.
Ingredients
12 plain doughnuts
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
Orange icing color
1/2 cup chocolate frosting
11 spearmint-leaf candies
Directions
1. Cut 1 doughnut into 11 small wedges. Press wedges into holes of remaining 11 doughnuts.
2. Tint frosting orange with icing color and heat 25 to 40 seconds in the microwave, until it's the consistency of heavy cream and thin enough to pour. Place 6 doughnuts on a cooling rack over wax paper. Evenly pour frosting over doughnuts to completely cover. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate, using a spatula. Scoop icing from wax paper, reheat, and pour over remaining doughnuts to coat.
3. Place chocolate frosting in a freezer-weight zip-top bag and snip off a small corner. Pipe jack-o'-latern faces on doughnuts. Cut and shape spearmint candies into stems and insert in tops. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
