Instructions
Baked Chocolate Butterfinger Donuts
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a donut pan with baking spray and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt together until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Whisk the egg and half & half together. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add the wet ingredients. Mix until combined (batter will be fairly thick).
  4. Add in sour cream, vanilla extract, and butter; mix until well combined.
  5. Pour batter into greased donut pan, filling each donut cavity about 3/4 of the way full (this batter can make about 7-8 donuts).
  6. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the donut 'springs' back when touched. Allow to cool a few minutes before removing from the pan.
Chocolate Glaze
  1. In a bowl, mix cocoa powder and powdered sugar together. Add in heavy cream, whisking until the glaze is at your desired consistency. I used 5 Tbsp, but if you prefer a thinner glaze, use 6 Tbsp. If you prefer a thicker consistency, use 4 Tbsp.
  2. Top with crushed Butterfingers.
  3. Enjoy!
