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!

    This recipe is fantastic. Made these this morning and did a simple milk chocolate ganache for the glaze and they were so good! Brought them to brunch and everyone commented on how moist they were. Solid recipe, will definitely be my go-to for chocolate donuts! Thanks for the great recipe!

    I don’t have a donut pan and I really want to make these. Do you have any suggestions? I thought that I might be able to pipe the dough in a circle on a cookie sheet, wouldn’t be as pretty, but???
