Everyone loves a nice hot glazed doughnut hole. Take them up a notch with chocolate on the inside.
I don’t know about you, but I could pop about 20 doughnut holes in my mouth for breakfast. The best part is how small they are compared with an actual doughnut. I’m also a huge fan of chocolate and decided to combine the both of them to make the BEST breakfast pairing.
