Obsessed with these Peanut Butter Donuts

I'll admit it... I'm a little obsessed with donuts right now. My donut pan is so much fun to use that I enjoy finding new recipes to try. So today I'm sharing this recipe for peanut butter donuts with chocolate glaze and then topped with some Reese's Peanut Butter cups. I love the peanut butter taste of the donut itself; as it taste amazing without the glaze and toppings as well (in case you don't have a sweet tooth.)

So pour yourself a cup of coffee and pull up a chair because you won't want to miss how to make these delicious donuts for yourself. 

Ingredients: 1/3 cup shortening, 1/3 cup peanut butter, 1 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 3/4 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1 cup milk

Directions: in a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, peanut butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.

Place in gallon sized zip lock bag and squeeze into greased donut pan till about 2/3's full.  Bake at 425 degrees for 8 minutes. 

When you take the donut tray out of the oven, let it sit for a couple of minutes before moving donuts to a cooling rack. 

Glaze: 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, 2 T. butter, 2 T. corn syrup.  Melt in microwave for 30 seconds, stir and microwave for another 30 seconds.

Dip donuts in glaze and top with crushed Reese's Peanut Butter cups.
