Ingredients

20 glazed doughnut holes, Entenmann’s®
1 c. premier white morsels, Nestlé®
2 tbsp. solid vegetable shortening, Crisco®
20 Life Savers Gummies®
20 medium mini candy-coated milk chocolate candies, M&M’s Minis®
2 drop red food coloring

Instructions

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper. Cut 1/8-inch-thick slices from 2 opposite sides of each doughnut hole.
Melt white morsels and vegetable shortening in top of double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl in microwave.
Working with one doughnut hole at a time, use a fork to dip into melted morsels mixture to coat. Lift coated doughnut holes from coating, shaking excess melted morsels mixture back into bowl. Place coated doughnut holes, one cut-side down, on prepared cookie sheet.
Place jellied candies on top of doughnuts. Dab chocolate candies with some of remaining melted morsels mixture and press onto jellied candies. Chill in refrigerator for 10 minutes or until coating is set.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of remaining melted morsels mixture and 2 drops of red food coloring. Using toothpick, paint colored morsels mixture onto doughnut eyeballs to resemble scary veins. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
