These treats, cleverly constructed from halved donuts, will provoke shivers of fright and squeals of delight.

For each rat, trim half a cake doughnut.

Freeze it for a few hours, then cover it with chocolate frosting, working on cut surfaces first (skip the bottom), then the uncut areas.

Drag a plastic fork through the frosting for a furry look.

Using a pair of tweezers, add a sugar pearl for a nose, then insert sprinkles as whiskers.

Attach chocolate-covered sunflower seeds for eyes and sliced almonds for ears.

With a skewer, poke a hole for the tail, then insert an 8-inch length of licorice lace.
