Count Chocula Cereal Milk Halloween Donuts

Woohoo! It’s Night 4 of #13NightsOfDonuts! And tonight I’m sharing the recipe for Count Chocula Cereal Milk Donuts! I made my donuts using Count Chocula cereal, but if you prefer Boo Berry or Franken Berry, you can definitely use one of those instead! I’m really not sure what those little cereal pieces are … ghosts? Doesn’t really make sense. Count Chocula … vampires and bats, but not ghosts! Whatever. The donuts and icing are made with cereal-soaked milk and then topped with more cereal! Here’s the recipe:

Count Chocula Cereal Milk Donuts

Ingredients

Donuts:
1 1/2 cups of your cereal of choice
1 1/2 cups of milk
2 cups flour, sifted
3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
Icing:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
4 Tbsp. cereal milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 – 1 cup cereal as topping

Instructions

Start by soaking your cereal in the milk for about 20 minutes.
Then combine your dry ingredients, the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and add them to your mixer.
After your cereal has soaked for 20 minutes, drain the liquid, keeping the milk, and toss the soggy cereal. Save 3 Tbsp. of the cereal milk for the icing.
Start preheating your oven to 450 F.
Then add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients – the eggs, vanilla, melted butter and the rest of the cereal milk.
Add 1/4 cup of batter to each of your greased donut pan wells.
Bake for 7-9 minutes.
Let donuts sit for 5 minutes and then remove from the pan and move them to a cooling rack.
Mix your icing. Ice your donuts and then top with extra cereal.
The cereal will get soggy very fast, so only apply the icing and cereal when you’re ready to serve the donuts.
Enjoy!

I basically applied the frosting using a spatula! So good! And then topped the icing with MORE cereal! I hope you’re enjoying the series! Hope you’ll stop by tomorrow might for another donut recipe!
