Chocolate Covered Pretzel Donuts with Caramel Drizzle

 

 

Good Morning!!!DSC_0883

Donuts are always a favorite in our house. So this Sunday morning I decided to spice up the usual cinnamon and sugar donuts and try these chocolate covered pretzel donuts. I was running short on time so I have to admit I did take the easy route and use Pillsbury canned biscuits but if you rather make homemade donuts check out my other recipe ” Cinnamon Spiced Donuts”.

Ingredients:

  • Small buttermilk biscuit pack (usually comes 4 in plastic wrap) 10 biscuits in each container.
  • ¾ cup of dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 3-4 large chocolate covered pretzels (chopped coarsely)
  • caramel to drizzle
  • canola oil for frying

 

Directions:

 

In deep fat fryer, heavy saucepan or 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat to 375°F.

Separate dough into 10 biscuits; flatten slightly. Using small cookie cutter or piping end tip, cut hole out of center of each biscuit.

 

Fry 2 or 3 biscuits in hot oil until golden brown, then turn over and cook other side. Remove to paper towel covered dish. Repeat with remaining biscuits and doughnut holes. (I always like to try the holes first to test the temperature).
