When you think of decadent donuts that are over the top yummy, this will be your go to recipe like mine. These Baked Dark Chocolate Donuts are screaming chocolate fudge!
I just love bringing these to family outings, everyone thinks they were from a famous bakery.
Then when I tell them I made them and they're baked not fried it's a bonus indeed!
I love chocolate donuts and tell myself they are a healthy breakfast, baked not fried and has eggs in the batter, just joking of course.
I really believe these are the best baked donuts on the planet. I have made them time and time again and very glad I have a donut pan.
Everyone including myself was very impressed. Even thought I am an avid lover of vanilla cakes and donuts these are simply divine.
The last function I brought these to, was for a beautiful chocolate pot luck party. There was a actual competition for the most decadent dessert made with all chocolate.
Guess what won? Yes, indeed these babies won the prize. I was excited and not really surprised since they were the hit of the party.
I did have to admit though, the dark chocolate dipped apples were pretty impressive also. She won second place. We both were over the moon over it.
Both of us got gift certificates for a great local restaurant, just in case you were wondering.
