Halloween Monster Donuts: Too Scary to Eat!
I just love Halloween. It is such a fun time to make creepy, crawly snacks that both myself and the kids can enjoy. They love it, and I love seeing their enjoyment. These Halloween monster donuts are some of my favorite things to make.
Of course, these would be a fun recipe to enjoy in a class after reading “Where the Wild Things Are.” Kids can make their donuts just as wild as the monsters in this book.
