Makes: 6-8 sandwiches

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Donut Sandwiches:

• 6-8 plain or glazed donuts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Nutella (or melted chocolate chips for a Reese’s-inspired filling)
• 1/4 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (optional, for extra indulgence)

For Optional Garnish:

• Crushed peanuts
• Chocolate drizzle
• Sprinkles

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Donuts

1. Slice each donut in half horizontally to create a “sandwich” base and top.

Step 2: Spread the Fillings

1. Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on the bottom half of each donut.
2. Add a layer of Nutella (or melted chocolate) over the peanut butter.
3. If desired, sprinkle chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top of the fillings for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Place the top half of the donut back onto the filled bottom half to form a sandwich.
2. Press gently to hold everything together.

Step 4: Garnish (Optional)

1. Drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the assembled sandwiches for added richness.
2. Sprinkle crushed peanuts, sprinkles, or additional Reese’s pieces on top for texture and decoration.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve immediately for a gooey, melty treat, or let the sandwiches chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly.
2. Pair with a glass of cold milk or coffee for an extra indulgent experience.

Tips for Success:

• Use homemade donuts: Bake or fry your own donuts for a fresher taste. Plain, chocolate, or glazed donuts all work well.
• Make it vegan: Use plant-based donuts, peanut butter, and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly version.
• Customize the fillings: Swap Nutella for Biscoff spread, marshmallow fluff, or dulce de leche for variety.
• Freeze option: Wrap individual sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Let thaw at room temperature before serving.
