Instructions
Baking Donuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 6 or 12 cup donut pan.
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and whisk to thoroughly combine.
Combine the sugars, yogurt, oil, and egg in a separate bowl and beat until smooth.
Fold together the wet and dry until a smooth chocolate batter forms.
Fill donut pan 1/3 full. A piping bag with no tip makes this easy.
Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the donuts are springy or a toothpick comes out clean.
Immediately flip the donut pan on to a cooling rack to release the donuts. Repeat until batter is used up.
Make the Glaze
Combine all the glaze ingredients, except the vanilla, into a pan over low heat.
Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla. Keep warm until you're ready to use it.
Decorate
Break pretzels so the top two arches can be used as legs.
When the donuts are cool, pour or spoon the glaze over the top. Keep it over a silicone mat or parchment paper to reduce mess.
Dip one end of a pretzel leg into the glaze and press it gently into the donut. Repeat to give each spider 8 legs.
Press in the eyes.
Let set for 20 minutes, then enjoy!
