Spread a little sugary goodness by adding a healthy dose of this luscious Donut Butter to your usual piece of toast. Created by the brilliant blogger Faith from the blog 'An Edible Mosaic,' this enticing concoction delivers all the taste of a donut in a handy smear-able format. Showing little restraint and utter disregard for common sense, Faith also whipped up a truly evil interpretation of the always popular [Jelly Donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaghetti-garlic-bread-donut), which features a decadent donut mousse and a colorful fruit topping.

If your go-to donut has become less than inspiring, why not switch it up with this eyebrow raising Donut Butter? Finally, you can discretely enjoy a little early morning donut goodness without anyone being the wiser. Spiked with [sour cream-glazed donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-donuts), cinnamon and nutmeg, this magical spread is sure to win hearts wherever it goes.

Shamelessly decadent, delicious and downright evil, Donut Butter is a novel way to get your sugar fix.
