Equipment

  • Microwave or nonstick pan

Ingredients

For the donut:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (or honey, for shine)
  • 2 tsp water
  • chocolate sprinkles, optional

Instructions

  • Place the chocolate chips, butter, maple syrup, and water in a medium bowl. Place in the microwave for 20 seconds, then remove and stir.
  • Repeat this 20 second process until the chocolate is completely melted, about 3 more times, until frosting is creamy and smooth.
  • Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze and then cover with sprinkles.
  • If you have any leftover glaze, you can drizzle extra on the donuts or save to enjoy for later. Vanilla ice cream + this chocolate glaze is amazing!
