Candied Chocolate Donuts

These Peanut Butter Cup Donuts Mix Sweet and Savory Flavors

If you're a fan of the iconic Reese's Peanut Butter Cups then you'll love these donuts that infuse the chocolatey peanut butter candy into a flaky pastry dessert.

To make these delicious Reese's donuts begin by picking up one can of Pillsbury Flaky Layer biscuits. Separate the biscuit dough and punch out tiny donut centers in the middle of the dough. Then fry the biscuit donuts in canola oil until the donuts are golden brown. Once the donuts are cooked, cover them in a layer of Nutella chocolate spread for an extra dose of chocolate goodness. Then sprinkle the donuts with crumpled up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. If you want to add even more peanut butter and chocolate to this dessert you could try folding Reese's Peanut Butter Cups into the biscuit dough before you fry it.
