Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- Food coloring (black and dark red)
- Chocolate frosting or glaze

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Divide the batter into two portions and tint one with black food coloring and the other with dark red.
- Heat your Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 or traditional oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a donut cutter or round cookie cutter, cut out donut shapes from the batter or pipe directly if using a piping bag.
- Carefully fry in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Allow donuts to cool, then dip or spread with dark chocolate frosting.
- Decorate with chocolate chips or candies for eyes and add red icing for wounds.
- Sprinkle edible glitter or sprinkles for a spooky effect.
Notes
- Ensure oil temperature is consistent for evenly fried donuts.
- Use black and dark red food coloring for realistic insect effects.
- Decorate shells while frosting is still slightly wet for better adhesion.
