Following on from the delicious White Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts, you also have these delicious Chocolate doughnuts, just incase you are not a fan of white chocolate (I know some people are not).
Just like the other doughnuts, for these I use wolfgang puck 12 count mini doughnut tray, similar to this one here:
Städter 489141 Baking Tray with Donut Moulds
You will need one that has doughnuts moulds 7cm in diameter 2cms high, for the same quantity of doughnuts. The really mini ones will work, it is just the equation of doughnuts will differ.
To sweeten I have used Sukrin : 1 (watch this space for my review of some sukrin products coming very soon). It is a natural sweetener and it has none of that horrible aftertaste you sometimes get with sweeteners. I have tried many different types in the past trying to find one that is natural and tastes natural and I think this is it. I usually just use some syns on honey or maple syrup, but it's nice to know I can now use this and reduce the syns even further. Instead of sukrin you can use any sweetener of choice of course. But I recommend sukrin if you can get some.
Sukrin can be ordered on amazon.

for those in Canada, I am told Sukrin will be readily available to us in the Fall.
The doughnut mix is pretty much the same for these as my White Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts, except for these some cocoa powder is added and they are dipped in melted semi sweet chocolate. Delicious!!

Syn value of cocoa powder can vary from brand to brand. The three brands I use are 100% cocoa powder (not Dutch Processed) and are 1 tbs for 20 calories (1 syn).
You should always double check the syn values of items which are synned, as brands can differ.
