Reformed Chocolate Donuts




A friend who happens to be a wellness practitioner will celebrate her 10th year in business the first week in February.  My homemade, bite-sized/baked/frosted chocolate doughnuts will join a variety of other gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free goodies from my kitchen as refreshments for her clients all next week. As a result, I'm baking a batch or two a day and storing them in the freezer.

I had a tiny blob of chocolate doughnut dough leftover from today's efforts, and so baked it in a custard cup, sort of like a cookie.

"What's THAT?" my adorable husband asked.

"It's leftover dough, baked in a blob."

"Can I eat it?"

"Not until I smear it with homemade Nutella...just a minute."

He waited, patiently.  With the first bite he oohed and aahed, moaned and groaned like a delighted child discovering chocolate for the very first time.

"Here's what you need to do," he mumbled with his mouth full.

"What?  And wait until you swallow - I can't understand you."

His recommendation didn't surprise me in the least. "You need to keep all of those for us, and make something else for the project."

"Right.  Sure."

"But I don't want to let them go...I don't want to LET THEM GO!"

Ah, the drama of it all.
