We’re all about mint and chocolate and for St. Patrick’s Day week we decided to make some donuts with a mint glaze and the kids and I really loved these!
You’ll need our chocolate cake and vanilla frosting mix to make these. It is top 14 allergen free, gluten free and vegan. For the chocolate drizzle on top we used safe chocolate melted. This part is optional.
The first step to making these is to gather all your ingredients and supplies.
