Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 6 count donut pan with cooking spray
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, add the chocolate chips to the melted butter. Stir until the chocolate is melted completely. Stir in the sugar and egg yolk until well mixed. Add the buttermilk and mix until smooth.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until there are no streaks of flour, being careful not to overmix. Pipe evenly into the donut pan. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until firm.
• Cool in the pan for 1 minute, then flip the pan and gently coax the doughnuts onto a cooling rack. Let the doughnuts cool completely.
• Melt the candy melts according the instructions. Dip the doughnuts in the white and let set. Pipe on eyes and a mouth. Gently use a knife to cut slits into the doughnut where the ears should go. Dip the oreos into a tiny bit of candy melt and slide into position. Enjoy!
