There is nothing more obscenely delicious than mint chocolate donuts. As we all know, the union of mint - with its cool spicy flavor - and chocolate - with its dark rich flavor - is a marriage made in heaven. Now, I know what you are thinking. You are probably wondering how the donut fits into the heavenly equation?
Think of the donut as the honeymoon in Hawaii. Yes! The donut is kind of like a fluffy, lightly-fried, night on a deserted moonlit beach. Eating mint chocolate donuts then, by extension, would sort of be like making love on the warn smooth sand of said moonlit beach, as a school of dolphins did somersaults in the distance. And then, it would follow that you can think of the gut you get from eating an entire batch of these donuts yourself as your first child. And then some day your little fatty child will ask you how you and mommy met, and you can think back warmly of this Instructable.
