Monster Donuts

Ingredients:
12 donuts (can also use mini bundt cakes or cookies)
4 cups of shredded coconut
Food dye of your choice
1 tub of vanilla or chocolate frosting
24 mini Oreos
24 mini M&Ms in varying colors
1 cup of slivered almonds or candy corn (cut the yellows off to make them smaller)

Directions:
Place shredded coconut in a large ziplock bag and add a few drops of food dye and one tablespoon of water, then shake it until evenly coated.
Spread a thin layer of frosting all around the donut.
Dip the frosted donut into the shredded coconut to fully coat it.
To make the eyes: Twist the mini Oreo apart and use the white side with the cream. Bring the eyes to life by adding a mini M&M to the white -- have fun with the color and placement.
To make the teeth: Place the slivered almonds or cut candy corn around the inside of the hole in the donut.
