So, it’s a pretty normal thing to eat donuts and drink coffee for breakfast, right?
I mean, people do that? On the regular?
Well, I’m not a huge fan of coffee, unless it has a gallon or two of sugary syrups added to it.
Iced Caramel Latte is my drink of choice. Iced Caramel Macchiatos are delicious, too. Pumpkin Spice Latte? Oh, yeah. Bring it on.
The White Chocolate Mocha, however, is not my thing. I don’t super love white chocolate, so I’d prefer a different coffee.
My husband loves them, though. So, I made him donuts. White Chocolate Mocha Donuts. These are a white chocolate donut covered in a coffee glaze and then drizzled with a bit more white chocolate. . I really enjoyed the coffee glaze. It wasn’t overly sweet and really helped balance the donut.
