Peppermint Glazed Chocolate Donuts Recipe

This Peppermint Glazed Chocolate Donuts Recipe makes a great addition to a holiday dessert table or a special treat for Christmas morning breakfast!

At Christmas time we see LOTS of cookies, but if you’re a doughnut girl you’re usually out of luck. Not this year!! We have a super delicious Peppermint Glazed Chocolate Donuts Recipe.

What’s awesome about these Christmas doughnuts is that you can serve them with your cookies and cakes and the other things on your dessert table, OR you can serve them as part of an indulgent Christmas breakfast.

These donuts are a great way to use up extra candy canes, or else you can crush up starlight mints for that crunchy red and white peppermint topping. 

This is easy to make using a donut pan – just fill and pop in the oven. To make a special (and delicious) holiday gift, you can put the donuts in a cellophane bag and tie with a red ribbon.
