Chocolate Cherry Glazed Donuts

June 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy National Doughnut / Donut Day!  Honestly I don’t know how to spell doughnut/donut?  What way is the correct way?  I guess I’ll spell it the way I grew up with and that’s Donut!!!  Well, anyway today is a big day in the world, ok USA.  Today is the day to get up early and make the donuts.  I can’t believe I actually got a food holiday on time.  Well, anyway since it’s a big day, what did I do?  But make donuts of course!!!

Chocolate Cherry Glazed Donuts

Even though my favorite donuts of all time are the horrible, bad for you ones with the whip cream in the center and chocolate on top, I’m sharing with you one of my other favorite ones and that is Chocolate Cherry with sweet, sweet glaze!  Now don’t worry about the guilt of having one of my donuts, they come in at only 84 calories!  Woohoo!  That means I can have two!!!

Chocolate Cherry Glazed Donuts

The first time I fell in love with donuts was when I was growing up and every once in a while my Dad would bring home Dunkin Donuts.  I remember that pretty pink and orange bag filled with lots of goodies.  My dad liked the French Crullers and I loved the glaze and jelly donuts.   I miss them so much.  But I do get to eat one at least one, once a year.  Living in California now, we don’t have Dunkin Donuts, but we do have Krispy Kreme, but I’m not a fan, because in my head nothing compares to DD.  However, today I get to actually celebrate it at DD, since I have one not to far where I am staying on my vacation.  Yah!  Though there is a roomer, that DD will be coming to CA in 2015.  I probably won’t go, since they will be local.  I’m afraid I’ll lose the love for them.  But I do love their french vanilla coffee.  None of that fancy stuff, just the traditional coffee.  I lave the fancy stuff for Starbucks.


Chocolate Cherry Glazed Donuts

I decided on making chocolate cherry donuts because I have had a jar of maraschino cherries staring at me every time I open my pantry.  I love chocolate and cherry together, so I thought they would make a great donut and I was right.  These donuts are sweet, light and when you take a bite you get a nice soft bite of cherry.  I added 20 cherries into my donuts thinking my batch would only make 12 donuts, but I ended up with 18 donuts, so next time I will had more cherries.  I kind of recommend you do too!!

Chocolate Cherry Glazed Donuts

These donuts are pretty easy to make, and only contain one bowl and a few donut pans.  I have one round shape and the other is heart. I have had these donut pans for a couple of years since the big donut phase came around.  I honestly barley used them, so I am glad I have a purpose now.  Last time I made donuts is when I started blogging about a year and a half ago.  I went donut crazy one day and made a ton!  A ton!  I packaged them up and took them to my Husbands work for a Saturday treat!!  You can check out the pictures here, if you would like.

Chocolate Cherry Glazed Donuts

I know donuts are not the healthiest things you can eat, but they are fun to have every once in a while. I did want to share with you that Dunkin Donuts is giving away a free donut today with a purchase of any beverage.  Also Krispy Kreme is giving a way a free donut, with no purchase necessary.  If you do go, make sure you pick a healthier donut, like a baked cake donut, but if you have to go for the fried donut, stick to traditional glaze, they are the least amount of calories then the other donuts.  I heard DD is debuting a new donut today the key lime pie one.  I may try that or get a glaze donut with sprinkles.  This is after all my one donut a year treat!  I can’t wait!!  As you can see from my pictures, I do have a love for DD and my friends know it.  I have DD K-cups, DD coffee mugs, DD tank top and DD Christmas ornament.  My Friends all know and think I’m crazy!  Especially when I do travel, I check the airports and hotel for DD to be near by.  I need help!  lol  I’m just glad they don’t send donuts!  Oh and like donuts you get at the shop, my baked donuts are best to eat them the day you make them!

I also wanted to let you know I may not be around much to answer any questions or comments you leave, but I’ll try.  But don’t worry I have a very odd and unique recipe for you for tomorrow and a wonderful summer time recipe for you on Sunday!

Have a great weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    You mean there are others who know DD is by far superior to Krispy Kreme?!? I was beginning to think I was the only sane person in the world!

    These look amazing – although I may have to swap out the cherries for blueberries.

    I’m totally sending you the doctor’s bill for the lump on my head. You think I’d learn not to try to look so closely at yummy food. I swear they had to peel me off of my computer screen. Freaking donuts man, they are my downfall.

    Hi there! Your recipe ingredient list says baking soda, but the instructions say baking powder. Can you clarify which it is?

      Hi Amanda, It is baking powder. Sorry about that. I will have to fix that. Thank you for the catch.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
