  • Grease a doughnut pan and spoon batter into each doughnut mold about ⅔ of the way up.
  • Bake in oven for 10 - 12 minutes until the edges turn a golden orange.  Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stove. Carefully dip the top of each doughnut in the melted chocolate and transfer to a cooling rack to set.

Notes

Melting Chocolate : My favorite way of melting chocolate on the stove is using a make-shift double-boiler.  Simply fill up a small pot with about 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer.  Place your chocolate chips in a small skillet on top of the simmering pot of water.  The indirect heat from the water will melt the chocolate perfectly and you don't have to worry about the chocolate melting!
