Chocolate Donuts for Adults

A little while ago, we were invited to a quiet, candle-lit dinner at the home of my sister and her husband. Excited at the prospect of taking a night off from cooking, I offered to make dessert, only to find that my pantry was lacking any tempting ingredients. I was saved, though, when I realized that I had all of the "stuff" needed to make donuts. I had never made them before, and it was just so easy.....not to mention really good to eat.




I dipped these plain donuts in melted milk chocolate with a few splashes of amaretto. Adult donuts were born.

It's hard to make donuts look classy. Yet somehow they did against the elegantly-simple table setting. The candlelight certainly helped, too.
