Sometimes I make recipes and then wait for a month or more to actually post it because I come up with more recipes in that time. This is one of those recipes. Now as I sit here late at night and reflect back on this recipe and gaze at my pictures I so realize I really, really want these donuts again!

I kind of forgot how amazing they actually were. I mean it’s a Samoa in donut form do we really need to discuss that more?

This light fluffy donut is dipped in chocolate then piled high with caramel and coconut and then drizzled with chocolate.

Amazing, delicious, life changing would all describe this donut.

Now I want these for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Who’s coming to make me some?

Let’s just say if you haven’t go on the baked donut bandwagon yet you need to. Stat. Like yesterday….

These particular donuts are so amazing that my coconut hating husband ate them. Then he sheeplishly confessed to me that they were really good and he didn’t even mind the coconut Duh. It’s piled with caramel and chocolate. How could you really “mind” the coconut?

You’d be seriously insane if you did…
