{Nutella Mini Donut}

Hazelnuts are one of the greatest complements to chocolate, but they are incredibly
hard to find anytime besides the holidays. Thankfully, Nutella—the perfect combi-
nation of hazelnut and chocolate in a delicious spread—is available year round. These
Nutella Mini Donuts are the perfect way to serve up a scrumptious dose of your favorite
chocolate hazelnut spread!

BISCOFF SPREAD
Biscoff has a delicious spread, made from Biscoff cookies (sometimes called
“The Airline Cookie”), that is comparable to the texture of Nutella. It makes a
perfect substitute in this recipe; just swap Biscoff Spread for Nutella, and enjoy a
Biscoff cookie–flavored mini donut!
