Glazed Chocolate Donut Holes (Just Like DUNKIN’)

I am a proud DUNKIN’-obsessed east coast transplant. A weekly visit to DUNKIN’ for coffee and donuts was the norm when I was growing up in Pennsylvania.

My favorite donut was the glazed chocolate donut hole. So what’s a baker to do when she wants some donut holes? Bake them herself!

I did worry if I could replicate that same DUNKIN’ amazing-ness that they put into their donut holes, but I’m pretty happy with the outcome…especially how perfectly round they turned out!

How, you ask? I used a cake pop pan to bake the donut holes, and they baked perfectly round and moist!

I think my recipe yields about 20 holes. I confess I neglected to pay attention to the final yield because as soon as the batch was baked they were devoured.

Happy Baking everyone! 🙂
