Hello, from the donut side!
Okay, that was stretching it but I have Adele on autoplay and these donuts just happened and I had to share. Because donuts. And chocolate glaze that makes you weak in your knees.
Every weekend needs donuts and these are so quick and easy to make - you can skip the line in your bakery. Besides a plateful of these babies will make for sweet memories. I always have so much fun calling the kids and my Hubby with a plate of glazed chocolate donuts dressed up with sprinkles in my hands! #blessed

How could you ever resist these? I've made this recipe so many times, I can probably whip up a batch if woken up in the middle of the night. The glaze couldn't be easier too! It's just chocolate and heavy cream whisk to a smooth and silky ganache. Woah! Dipping the donuts in the glaze is a happy moment for sure!
Also, it may be getting a little annoying but I am still trying to spread happiness with colorful and happy food. Hope you don't mind!
