Equipment

  • round cookie cutter
  • piping bag optional
  • Baking Sheet
  • small bowl
  • pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 2 frozen puff pastry sheets thawed
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 egg
  • 9 Reese cups or 3 mini Reese cups per donut
  • 2 cups chocolate sauce
  • Chocolate sprinkle

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Unfold thawed pastry sheets on a floured surface and use a round cookie cutter to cut 18 circles of dough
  • In a small bowl, mix the water and egg. Use a small pastry brush to brush the bottom circle of each puff pastry.
  • Place Reese’s peanut butter cups in the center of each of the egg washed circles.
  • Place the remaining 9 dough circles on top of the Reese’s cups and use a fork to pinch together both pastry circles.
  • Bake pastries for 13 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool
  • Smother the tops of the donuts in chocolate sauce and sprinkle the tops with chocolate sprinkles. Chop remaining Reese’s and sprinkle them on the tops of donuts.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you do not have a cookie cutter you can use a cup to create the circles in the dough.
  • Make sure that you allow the puff pastry dough to thaw completely before you start to make these donuts.
  • If you are having trouble getting your puff pastry to seal you can use a small amount of egg wash to help seal them.
  • I used the mini Reese's peanut butter cup, but you could use a large one instead if you prefer.
  • I also topped my donuts with some chopped mini peanut butter cups but you leave them off if you prefer.
