I have been IN LOVE with donuts ever since I was introduced to them. The earliest memory I have of donuts is when I was in third grade. It was another kid’s birthday and her mom brought donuts for to us eat. (Who brings donuts to third graders?!) Anyways, I have been IN LOVE with donuts since then. My favorite ones were actually the plain donuts without the glaze or sprinkles, it was just so good! And in this time of the year, this Halloween donuts would be the perfect treat!
I actually made two versions of donuts. The picture below is the chocolate glazed donuts, which is very sweet and rich. So for those of you who like that type of donuts, follow the recipe.
These donuts were not as sweet and rich. I actually thinned out the confectioners sugar,just enough for the sprinkles to stick on the donuts. Basically, I added about 4 tablespoons of water instead of two to really thin out the chocolate. If you are looking to make the donuts from scratch, I do have baked donut recipe from scratch you can make. However, if you are a student, mom, sister, brother, parent, it will be so much easier to make donuts using refrigerated biscuit dough. (I challenge you to make it in 15 minutes or less.)

Hi, i was just wondering…. What is a refrigerated biscuit dough? Is it something you make or do you buy it, or????
Hi Amalie, It’s basically bread dough in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. I hope this helps.
