Instructions
-
Fry the Donuts:
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F.
- Flatten each biscuit slightly to prevent them from being too thick.
- Fry a few donuts at a time, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then transfer to a cooling rack.
-
Prepare the Peanut Butter Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk or beat the peanut butter until fluffy.
- Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and whisk until thick but spreadable.
-
Prepare the Chocolate Frosting:
- Sift cocoa powder and powdered sugar together in a bowl.
- Slowly stir in milk and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
- Transfer to a piping or zip-top bag with a small opening for drizzling.
-
Assemble the Donuts:
- Spread peanut butter glaze over each donut with a knife or offset spatula.
- Dip glazed donuts upside down into the Reese’s Pieces to coat.
- Drizzle with chocolate frosting in a zigzag pattern.
-
Serve:
- Enjoy immediately while warm. Best served fresh!
Notes
- A candy thermometer is recommended to maintain proper frying temperature.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
- For an extra crunch, lightly press the Reese’s Pieces into the glaze.
