'homemade' cinnamon rolls, pizza bread, monkey bread, etc.  Fore the glaze, I used my Warm Chocolate Icing Recipe from the chocolate sheet cake post.<br /><br />I really hope you take the time to make these some weekend - it is a fun process to do with your family.  I have great memories of making donuts with my Grannie on the weekends.  I remember thinking how amazing it was that I could top them with anything I wanted.  Unleashing creativity starts early.<br /><br />Stop by my new store with all of my favorite <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/">Baking, Entertaining, Packaging & Table Setting Essentials!</a><br /><br /><a class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjennysteffens.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhomemade-chocolate-glazed-donuts-hot.html&media=http%3A%2F%2F3.bp.blogspot.com%2F-M3H9oTgdOQ4%2FT8jnW6QrQuI%2FAAAAAAAAKg0%2F9fxUb1tuOkI%2Fs1600%2Fdonuts-pin.jpg&description=Hot%2C%20Dripping%2C%20Chocolate%20Glazed%20Donuts%20-%20the%20EASIEST%20recipe...%20made%20from%20frozen%20bread%20dough%21%0A%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fjennysteffens.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F02%2Fhomemade-chocolate-glazed-donuts-hot.html"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdrnfkuGHy0axXNyFpHapy_2X4YQ3X2w1Ovm-_s4mbCynSx0FDLVUs2bzHtg1iXiZuvQ9ottesh1RZQ03M0RYZTntoDyonNLt85tfqg8od31XNuErmQWJnOXZBdWpmvxuSiJAKVv_6xVM/s1600/donuts.jpg" style="clear: left;
