    These Screaming Ghost Donuts are the perfect easy dessert for a creepy party this halloween! They are so easy to make using refrigerated biscuit dough and are always a hit!

    Aren't these fun? I'm so excited to share them with you today!

    They aren't rocket science. I mean, it's refrigerated biscuit dough after all. But I just think they're so. stinkin'. cute for a halloween party.

    I imagine these piled high on a big black platter with clouds of powdered sugar pushing over the platter's edge onto the table cloth. The powdery mess almost making them more spooky.

    I've been having a little bit of fun with video lately. I'm a great big newb when it comes to video editing so it takes me a ridiculously long time to make even a 30 second clip, but it's so fun when it's done.

    And just like a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth... a million? I dunno. Here's how to make them, nonetheless.

    The printable recipe is below as well. Enjoy, friends!

      These were great! After taking each donut out of the oil, I sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar right away and it added a little more pizzazz! I will keep this recipe and change it in fun ways for each holiday!
