We love these donuts.
When we ate them for lunch the other day we said to each other how the texture and taste of the donuts reminded us of chocolate cupcakes.
The texture is so soft with a light, moist crumb.
The perfect balance of chocolate, sweetness with a little tart and crunch. So good! Trust us. All the flavors just blend perfectly together.
