These Vampire Bite Red Velvet Donuts are creepy, decadent, and perfect for Halloween dessert tables. Soft and fluffy red velvet donuts are baked to perfection, glazed with sweet cream cheese icing, and decorated with drips of raspberry or strawberry sauce to resemble vampire bites. Two small fang marks piped with icing or poked with a toothpick complete the chilling effect. They’re sweet, slightly tangy, and deliciously spooky—making them a fun choice for parties, trick-or-treat celebrations, or a Halloween breakfast.
