Save RecipeIngredients
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 per can)
Frying Oil (Rice Bran, Vegetable, Canola, Grapeseed etc.)
Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze
1/4 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Spread
1 cups of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk (or more as needed depending on consistency desired)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oil on medium high heat in a large pot or dutch oven until it has reached 375 degrees (I used a candy thermometer). You can also test if it's ready using the tip of wooden chopsticks or a wooden spoon.
- Remove biscuits from tube and lay out on a cutting board. Using a 1 inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a hole from the middle of each biscuit.
- Line a cookie wire rack with a few sheets of paper towels to absorb the oil.
- Gently place a couple of the doughnuts at a time into the hot oil. When they start to rise and turn golden, flip them over immediately using tongs or a wooden spoon (it should take less than a minute).
- The second side will turn golden very quickly and faster than the first side.
- Immediately transfer the fully fried donuts to paper towels to blot excess oil.
- Continue with the remaining donuts until everything is fried. You can also fry the donut holes.
- Make the glaze - In a medium bowl whisk together powdered sugar, peanut butter, and salt. Add 1 tablespoon of milk and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Mixture may be thick. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is thick and just pourable.
- Dip each donut into the peanut butter glaze. Shake off some of the excess glaze. Return to the wire rack to dry. Repeat and dunk again for a thicker coating. Add sprinkles if desired. Allow to rest for a few minutes for the frosting to harden slightly.
Notes
Donuts are best served warm and fresh! You may have to reheat in the microwave for a few seconds if they have cooled down.
