These donuts are super cute! My kids loved them. Gonna make them again for Halloween!
Cute? More like a spider party gone wrong. Not sure I’d want my kids eating that. 🤔
I’m so glad your kids loved them! They really are adorable, especially for Halloween. Can’t wait to see your version!
Yum, pumpkin spice! My favorite flavor. Also the spiders look funny! 🕷️
I can’t believe how easy these were to make! Everyone was impressed at the party!
What? Pumpkin in donuts? Sounds gross. I’d rather just have regular jelly donuts.
Honestly, pumpkin in donuts? No, thank you! Just give me a classic jelly donut any day!
I get where you’re coming from, but pumpkin adds a unique flavor! You gotta try it at least once!
Spider donuts? LOL! I showed this to my friends and we just laughed 😂
I tried to make these and they turned out really weird. They didn’t rise much?
I made these for a school bake sale, but uhhh, I forgot the eggs. Still sold!
That’s impressive! Donuts without eggs and they still sold? Must’ve been good! 😂
I added some walnuts to the mix because I like nuts in my treats. They were delicious!
Didn’t bake right for me. Followed recipe but they were too doughy. Maybe overmixed?
I had the same problem! My donuts were a mess too. Maybe try mixing less next time? Good luck!
