Brownie Donuts with Peanut Butter Glaze
These donuts might be more like rich brownies than they are donuts. When they are topped with this great peanut butter glaze, they make the perfect dessert.
Top these with chocolate sprinkles or chocolate chips to make them look as good as they taste.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces of Bittersweet Chocolate,
- chopped 1 stick of unsalted butter (room temperature)

- Add spoonfuls of the dry ingredients to the mixture and stir continually until the mixture is smooth.
