We have a serious case of sweet tooth at our house. Dip it in chocolate and no one can resist! When the kiddos ask for donuts I often hesitate. Sugar for breakfast is not my first choice when trying to get them out the door with a healthy start. But…I love a good donut as much as anyone. Especially on the weekend when we are savoring some extra quality time together as a family.
This fun recipe for white chocolate donuts is a great treat for those lazy weekend mornings. OK…to be entirely honest…we don’t have too many lazy weekend mornings. Always a kid that needs to be at one activity or another. But…we still like to enjoy our donuts every once in a while.
A fun alternative to my white chocolate donut would be to add a little milk chocolate! Oh…that would be so good!
