Chocolate Donuts

I made these on Valentine's Day. Some of these ingredients I usually try to avoid. However, I loved them! I will not be making again them for a long, long time (do to the fact that I ate just about all of them while Kimball was at work). I didn't have a donut pan so I used a bite-sized Bundt pan. It worked just fine.
