For the Monster Donuts:
Melt your purple and green colored candy melts with 1 tbs coconut oil or shortening each. I recommend heating for 30 seconds in the microwave at 50% power, stirring, and repeating until melted. You can even take it out of the microwave when there are still a few lumps and let it sit for about a minute, then stir. The residual heat should melt the remaining candy melts. If the candy melts are still too thick, stir in more coconut oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. If the candy melts are still too thick, stir in more coconut oil, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. You don’t want to overheat the candy melts and cause them to burn and get clumpy.
6 oz Green Candy Melts, 2-4 tbs refined coconut oil, 6 oz Purple Candy melts
Dip your donuts face down into the candy melts and then press on the eyes and sprinkle with sprinkles. Then set onto the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
Tips and Tricks
Candy Melts: Different brands tend to melt slightly differently sometimes. You can use refined or unrefined coconut oil for the candy melts, but refined does not leave a coconut taste, which is what I prefer. Or use shortening!
Mummy Donuts:
You want the candy melts to be on the slightly thicker side because you want it to look like strips of bandages.If the candy melts are too liquid/thin, the candy melts mummy bandages will just blend together and that's not the look you want- then they might turn into happy ghosts!
Black Frosting:
You can make your own from scratch using my chocolate buttercream recipe and adding black food gel, or buy several tubes of premade black frosting from the store.Nutrition is an estimate and will vary based on how you decorate your donut.
