Instructions

Prepare chocolate donuts

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Step 2

With a hand mixer or whisk, mix the butter, egg, C&H® Light Brown Sugar, C&H® Granulated Sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla just until combined. Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Turn the mixer on slow and slowly drizzle in the buttermilk while mixing in the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Place the batter in a piping bag or large freezer bag and cut a dime-sized hole for the opening. 

Step 4

Spray two mini donut pans with cooking spray and pip in the batter until 3/4ths full. Place in the oven for 9-11 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.

Prepare peppermint icing

Step 5

Beat the cream cheese, butter, and C&H® Powdered Sugar together until combined. Add in the peppermint extract and cream and beat until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Spoon over the cooled donuts and sprinkle with peppermint candy bits.

Additional Tip


1. Don’t over bake the donuts, they will cook fast. They’re finished as soon as you can tap the domes and they bounce back and don’t deflate.

2. Peppermint candy bits are easy to find in many stores, or you can place a few candy canes in a plastic bag and beat with a rolling pin into tiny bits.

3. If you only have mini donut pans, reduce the cook time to 7-8 minutes.
