We'd be lying if we said we didn't have a slight donut addiction here at LJC HQ! So when we spotted these lovely little treats over on Pinterest earlier this week we instantly knew they would be perfect to share on the blog for our Halloween Friday feature. Shared from The Little Epicurean blog, we've chosen the chocolate baked donuts to share, however there are plenty more ideas on this blog that will help inspire your Halloween creations.
Planning on baking something rather spectacular this weekend or simply trying out a new recipe? We'd love to hear from! Get in touch and send us a tweet!
Happy Friday everyone!
