# Festive Cyclops Donuts This Cute Halloween Donut DIY Project Creates Edible Eyeball Desserts By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-10-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-donut References: [sugarandcloth](http://sugarandcloth.com/2015/10/diy-mini-monster-eyeball-donuts/) This [Halloween donut recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-x-ghostbusters-collection) is extremely easy to assemble and makes an adorably festive treat. From the blog Sugar and Cloth, the DIY Mini Monster Eyeball Donuts transform miniature powdered donuts into a not so scary Holiday dessert. In addition to the store-bought donuts, you will need [sour gummy rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-sprinkle), peanut butter M & Ms and icing. The icing part is optional, but it will help all the components stay stuck together instead of merely placed on top of each other. The result is a batch of eyeball-resembling Halloween donuts. This is a quick snack you can whip up for a [Halloween party](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-menu-items) you may be attending or hosting this year. They're also child-friendly as they are not particularly spooky or gory looking. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Edible Eyeball Desserts:** There is an opportunity for creative and interactive dessert experiences through the creation of edible eyeball desserts. - **DIY Halloween Treats:** There is potential for a market of DIY Halloween treat projects that allow individuals to create festive desserts at home. - **Child-friendly Halloween Snacks:** There is a demand for non-spooky, child-friendly Halloween snacks that are both fun and delicious. ### Who This Affects Most - **Baking and Confectionery:** The baking and confectionery industry can benefit from creating innovative Halloween dessert recipes and products. - **Event Planning and Catering:** The event planning and catering industry can offer unique and interactive dessert options for Halloween parties and events. - **Parenting and Family Entertainment:** The parenting and family entertainment industry can provide Halloween snack ideas and recipes for families to enjoy together. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Themed Donut Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enchanted-cauldron-doughnut.md) - [Halloween Candy-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-trick-or-treat-collection.md) - [Delicious Halloween-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mister-donut-misdo-halloween.md) - [Festive Halloween Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-sprinkle-donut.md) - [Haunted Halloween Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-house-collection.md) - [Horror Movie-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-night-of-the-skremes.md) - [Festive Halloween-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duck-donuts-spooky-box.md) - [DIY Monster Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-pops.md) - [Spooky Dessert Halloween Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunkin-spider-donut-inflatable.md)
