This is one of those ideas that I thought up months and months ago, then stored away, closely guarded, until the right season. Bark is, at its core, a really easy dessert to make. The creative part comes when you start adding toppings — in this case, the toppings are Chanukah themed! You can use store-bought (even leftover) doughnuts, or you can use my really easy baked doughnut recipe (see below).

Easy Baked Doughnuts
Start Cooking
Prepare the Bark
-
Line a baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper and set aside.
-
Melt chocolate over a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl fitted over a pot of boiling water). Spread chocolate over prepared baking sheet.
-
Immediately top the chocolate with doughnut pieces (see below for my Easy Baked Doughnuts recipe) and then sprinkles, evenly distributing them over the surface.
-
Set aside until the chocolate hardens, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container until serving.
Tip:
Plan ahead: Make the bark up to a couple of days ahead of time and store completely airtight to prevent the doughnuts from getting stale.
Easy Baked Doughnuts
These doughnuts are great on my doughnut bark, but make a double batch to try them on their own too! They’re really easy, and so delicious! You can replace the powdered sugar coating with the glaze of your choice.
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a nonstick doughnut pan and set aside.
-
Combine flour, sugar, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
-
Add eggs, vanilla, oil, and juice and whisk until combined, and a thick batter is formed.
-
Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a hole cut in the corner, pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity ¾ full.
-
Bake for 10 minutes for regular size doughnuts or 8 minutes for mini doughnuts.
-
As soon as the doughnuts come out of the oven, roll them in powdered sugar, completely covering the doughnut.
Tip:
These doughnuts can be made ahead and frozen in an airtight container.
-
freeze
if i freeze these should i dip in confection sugar before freezing? or right b4 servingReplies:
Devorah, roll the donuts in sugar right after baking, then freeze. You may want to reapply before serving as well. Enjoy!
