Want to make your own chocolate frosted donuts? Check out this five-minute hack to make a tasty treat with a very simple and quick technique.
I do not know about you, but with the holidays right around the corner, entertaining in a pinch is going to become necessary for our family. You see, this will be our first set of holidays in our new home.
We finally have a large kitchen and open floor plan where we can host Thanksgiving or even Christmas festivities. It feels awesome to have space, but I need to get to planning meals/snacks out.
When I think of entertaining, one of the first things that comes to mind is coffee. I always offer my guests a cup of coffee or tea once they sit down and get settled.
The easiest way to do this is by turning the Keurig on and getting it ready to pump out coffees. I typically always have a variety of K-Cups® on hand because everyone has different preferences.
Having grown up in Southeastern MA, you could say Dunkin’ Donuts® gets me going. There has not been a week that has gone by where I have not had Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. I love the flavors, variety, and quality.
You bet I was happy when Dunkin’ Donuts coffee came out with K-Cups. Now, the hardest part is deciding what flavors to actually buy from my local Stop & Shop. There are just so many to choose from that are all tasty! This week, I settled on French Vanilla with some Extra Extra Creamer..
Dunkin’ Donuts has always been the brand to get people going and keep them going, so they can make the most of their day, every day. A great cup of coffee is such a conversation starter and can make a good day, a great day!
Personally, I love that I can serve my family and guests Dunkin’ Donuts coffee even at home. The coffee is consistently smooth and delicious, and high quality.
If you are a true Dunkin’ Donuts fan you know exactly what that means. Extra sugar and creamer, please!
I almost fell over one day while shopping at Stop & Shop when I saw that they had Dunkin Donuts Creamer in Extra Extra. People must have been staring at me because I had the biggest grin on my face when I added it to my grocery cart. I had been buying the Original Creamer for a while, but the Extra Extra was a must!!
I love Dunkin’ Donuts Extra Extra Creamer because I can add it to my coffee bar for guests to easily tailor their coffee to their preference. Most of my family loves a sweet and creamy coffee so it is perfect. For others, the Original works perfectly.
Dunkin’ Donuts Extra Extra Creamer is made with real sugar, milk and cream for a wonderfully rich and smooth taste. It allows the tasty flavors of Dunkin’ Donuts French Vanilla or any other K-Cup variety to come through.
What goes hand in hand with Dunkin’ Donuts coffee? Donuts!!
Frosted Donuts Hack
Today, I wanted to share how you can hack donut making with this fun frosted donut DIY recipe.
For chocolate glazed donuts, microwave chocolate frosting for 25 seconds.
Dip a plain cake donut half way in face down.
Allow it to drip dry on a baking rack.
For glazed donuts, dip a plain cake donut into 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons of milk.
Place on a baking rack to drip and repeat after 15 minutes to coat your donut. Add holiday sprinkles for a festive touch.
These donuts take about 2 hours to harden and can be made ahead of time.

I love that Dunkin is finally becoming less regional- we have one the next town over in SoCal, at last! I’ll admit, I’ve used that hack when I was out of confectioner’s sugar, before!

When I was working I”d hit up the Dunkin’ on my way in to the office all the time. The coffee gave my morning the kick start it needed.
