- To make these glow party donuts, start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare your donut pans by greasing them with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, vegetable oil, and sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again until combined.
- Next, add the baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt and stir until combined.
- Start adding the flour and milk, alternating between the two until the batter is combined. Try not to overmix!
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan until they are about ¾ full.
- Bake the donuts for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
- Remove the pans from the oven and let the donuts cool for about 5-7 minutes in the pans before removing them to a wire rack to cool.
- When the donuts are cool, melt your chocolate by microwaving at medium power for 2 minutes.
- Stir the chocolate and microwave again at 15-second intervals until it’s completely melted.
- Dip each donut in the melted chocolate and return to the cooling rack to set.
- Use a tiny bit of Rolkum powder and a small amount of lemon extract and mix together in a small bowl.

Tips Tricks and FAQs
- If you can’t find black candy melts, you can also use brown chocolate melts. Just use black food coloring and add it to the melted chocolate until you reach a black color!
- It’s so much easier to fill your donut pan with a piping bag or even a plastic bag with the corner snipped. Just put the batter in the piping bag and pipe it into the pan! It’ll be so much easier than trying to spoon the batter without getting it everywhere.
- Make sure that you cover the surfaces where you are planning to splatter your donuts. It can get pretty messy splattering this “paint” around so you’ll want to lay down a tablecloth, newspaper, or whatever you have around. And if your kids are helping you, make sure they are wearing clothes you don’t mind glowing a bit!
Storage
Store these donuts at room temperature in an airtight container. If kept airtight they should last about 4-5 days!
