The only logical thing to do with the chocolate bar in my sugar filled mind is to throw it into a decadent and delicious dessert. So what’s better than stuffing a creamy milk chocolate bar inside of a piping hot homemade donut and making S’mores Donuts! These donuts are stuffed with mini marshmallows and milk chocolate toffee bar pieces and dipped into a chocolate glaze and topped with graham cracker crumbs. It’s heaven in donut form!
Green & Black’s was so kind enough to send me 4 of their chocolate bars; Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Espresso and Toffee. I adore their chocolate especially the white chocolate bar. I’ve used it before in a recipe for the filling in my Mini Almond Joy Tarts. The flavor is a million times better compared to the regular white chocolate bars used for baking. This was my first time tasting the toffee bar and it was my favorite! I knew this was the chocolate bar I had to use in my S’mores Donuts. I’m more of a milk chocolate fan and white chocolate fan over dark chocolate. I tasted the dark chocolate and the espresso bar (a dark) and would prefer it in a recipe and that’s only because of my chocolate preferences.
Not only do I get to munch away on their chocolate but Green & Black’s has offered to giveaway 10 chocolate bars to one reader! Oh my word 10 chocolates = pure delicious chocolate love

The giveaway will end on Thursday May 19th at midnight. I’ll announce the winner the next morning.
(giveaway is open to US residents. Sorry international readers. I still love you!)
Mix together 1/4 cup of warm water (110-115 degrees) and 2 packages of dry active yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add in 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cups lukewarm whole milk, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup softened shortening and 2 cups all purpose flour. Mix on low speed with a paddle attachment.
Then slowly add in the remaining flour (5 cups flour total), 1/2 cup at a time.
Once it’s combined, switch to the dough hook. Knead the dough with the dough hook for 6 minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer, knead the dough by hand for 8 minutes.
Then take the dough out and knead it on the counter that’s been sprinkled with flour. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes.
Lightly oil a large bowl and roll the dough around in the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm draft free area. Let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Take the dough out of the bowl and roll it out. The dough should be 1/2 inch thick. Take a 4 inch circle cutter and dip it in the flour. Cut the dough.
Place the donuts on a couple of baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap and let them rise for 20 more minutes.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees. Then take a baking sheet and line it with paper towels. Put a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet. You’ll place the donuts on the cooling rack to drain off the excess oil.
While the donuts are rising, assemble the other ingredients and make the chocolate glaze for the topping on the donuts. I love this chocolate glaze because it hardens and doesn’t make a huge mess. In a microwavable bowl, add 10 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of softened diced unsalted butter. Carefully melt the butter and chocolate.
Break the Green & Black’s Organic Toffee Chocolate Bar into pieces. You will stuff pieces of the chocolate inside the donuts. Set aside some mini marshmallows. These will also be stuffed inside of the donuts. Crush up some graham crackers (not too finely) and place them aside in a bowl. The graham cracker will be sprinkled on top of the chocolate glaze.
When the oil is at 375 degrees, take a slotted spatula and carefully place the donuts in the oil. I fry a couple at a time. Once they’re done frying, place them on the cooling rack.
Take a warm donut and poke a hole in the center.
Stuff some mini marshmallows in the hole.
And then stuff in some chocolate.
Dip the donut in the chocolate glaze.
Sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs on top.
Oh my word! Enjoy!
Smores Donuts
Dough
2 packages active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1 1/2 cups lukewarm whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 quart canola oil, for frying the donuts
Chocolate Glaze
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into pieces
10 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
Filling and Topping
1 bag mini marshmallows (you may not use all of the marshmallows)
2 Green & Black’s Organic Toffee Chocolate Bars
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
Mix together the yeast and warm water in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the sugar, milk, kosher salt, shortening and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the paddle attachment.
Add in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time. If you don’t have a stand mixer, mix everything together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Once all of the flour is added, switch to a dough hook. Knead the dough using the dough hook for 6 minutes. If you don’t have a stand mixer, knead the dough by hand for 8 minutes.
Sprinkle flour on the counter, take the dough out of the mixing bowl and knead the dough by hand for a couple of minutes. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and roll the dough around in the oil to coat it. Place plastic wrap over the bowl and put it in a warm draft free area to rise for 1 hour.
After one hour, take the dough out of the bowl and roll it so that it’s 1/2 inch thick. Using a 4 inch circle dough cutter, cut the dough.
Place the donuts on a baking sheet and cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap. Let the donuts rise again for 20 minutes.
Heat the oil to 375 degrees.
Take a baking sheet and line it with paper towels. Place a cooling rack over the baking sheet. You will place the donuts on this once they’re done frying to drain off any excess oil.
For the chocolate glaze, combine the softened butter and semi sweet chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Melt the chocolate but be careful not to overheat it.
Assemble all of the other ingredients; the mini marshmallows, the chocolate bar pieces and the graham cracker crumbs.
Carefully slide the donuts into the hot oil with a slotted spoon Fry the donuts, a couple at a time. Once one side is golden brown, flip it over and fry the donut until the other side is golden brown as well. Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place on the cooling rack to drain.
Take a donut and poke a hole in the side. Stuff the donut with some mini marshmallows and a piece or two of chocolate.
Dip the donut in the chocolate glaze and sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of the chocolate glaze.
Enjoy!
I finally tried Green & Blacks chocolate a few weeks ago at the “Women’s Show” in Montreal. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Even the 85% dark chocolate was really yummy (and not sour like the 85% chocolate bars of certain other brands)! I’m not a huge fan of their chocolate though it is a little harder to find here.
These look amazing. And I love Green & Black chocolate!

I don’t know why this recipe didn’t trigger my alarms and buzzers when I first read it but it sure is now. ANYTHING s’more goes on my list because I have a child who adores smores…Every once and a while I like to make him happy.

Yummmmmmm – - who doesn’t love chocolate
I just found this web-site a month or two ago and absolutely love it. Keep up the good work.
Those doughnuts look scrumptious! Perhaps I’ll have to give them a try for my family’s memorial day bbq… and hopefully not burn myself with hot oil!
I’ve yet to try G&B’s chocolate, but I’ve heard nothing but raves about it, so it would definitely be cool to get to taste it for myself =)
Also – totally spent about 2 hrs looking through every archived post on this blog while at my computer yesterday. everything look sooooo delish (Smores doughnuts? Red velvet cupcakes? Ghiradelli brownies? yes please!), and made me realize baking isn’t as difficult as I thought it was!
*liked* you on FB as well. – loving all those delish food pics on there btw.
Enter me for some chocolate…
If I won 10 chocolate bars from Green and Black and would think I had died and gone to heaven. I love smores so these doughnuts sound wonderful but here in the south we like to add peanut butter to our smores
I would love to win this ! Thanks for the chance !
You have won my heart over with these. How can you possibly make smores better…make it donut form!! Genius, thanks so much for the stuffed donut recipe, can’t wait to try it!
The donuts look delish and I love Green and Blacks!
yum!! i cannot wait to try homemade donuts!
love me some of those!
Nothing better than chocolate…except free chocolate!
