Happy early Halloween! Spider donut #recipe from author @DarylWoodGerber

From Daryl:

Happy early Halloween.  You like to plan ahead, right? I always do.

If you're having a party soon, these are perfect little treats. I found the idea on Pinterest and thought I should share with you. If you have little ones living with you or visiting you, they're a real hit. These are NOT gluten-free. 

Now, if you can find little chocolate donuts that ARE gluten-free, please tell me about them. I miss a good donut. I can make cake donuts gluten-free, but to be able to buy them and not do the hard labor, heaven!

PS  I did use gluten-free pretzels. See note about breakage below.

SPIDER DONUTS

What you will need: 

Mini chocolate donuts

Curved Pretzels

Candy eyes, which I found at Michael's Art Store

To assemble:  Set donuts on your prep area.  Press candy eyes into the "face."  Break pretzels to form curves. Mind you, this isn't easy. I ultimately used scissors and started by cutting inside the loops first. Lots of breakage, but pretzels are tasty even if they're broken.  Insert 6 "leg" pretzels into donuts.  You can insert 8 if you want to be correct--spiders have 8 legs---but it might get crowded. That's it.  So easy!
