Ingredients
  

For Donuts:

  • 1 chocolate cake mix
  • eggs
  • oil
  • water

For Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Toppings:

  • graham crackers
  • mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

For Chocolate donuts:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350° and grease your donut mold pans.
  • In a large bowl add your cake mix, eggs, oil and water as directed on the back of the box. Whisk into well combined.
  • Transfer your batter into a piping bag (you can also use a spoon or a spouted measuring glass.) and pour into your donut molds. Be careful to not over fill them. Halfway should be good.
  • Bake in the oven at 350° for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. A butter knife or toothpick should come out clean. Remove from oven and let cool.

For Chocolate Ganache:

  • In a glass measuring cup, heat your heavy whipping cream for about 1 minute in the microwave. Add in your chocolate chips and let set in the heavy cream for five minutes.
  • Whisk it up until smooth. If the ganache is too thin, add more chocolate and if its too thick add a little bit of cream (about 1 tsp) at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Assemble:

  • To assemble your donuts, dip them into your chocolate ganache one at a time and place on a wire rack.
  • Top with toasted mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.
  • Share and enjoy!!
