Ingredients

Donut

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Donut Caramel Coconut Glaze

1 bag of caramels – 15 oz.
3 cups shredded sweetened coconut - toasted
3 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate melted – chocolate chips or melting wafers

Instructions

Start by spraying your donut pan, and then preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl you will add your baking powder, baking soda, flour, cornstarch, sugar, nutmeg and mix until incorporated.
Now add in the wet ingredients to your donut mix. Egg, milk, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Pour the donut batter in a piping bag, and place a frosting tip on, or cut the tip.
Pour the donut mixture into the greased pan, and bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove the baked donuts from the oven and allow them to sit in the pan for 5 minutes.
While donuts are cooling, you can melt down your chocolate in the microwave.
In a skillet on the stove on medium-low heat, you will want to toast your sweetnened coconut. Cook until it is golden brown in color, then remove from heat.
Dip your donuts in the chocolate, and then place on a cooling rack to set up.
In a saucepan or in the microwave melt down your caramel. Then stir in the salt, milk, and coconut. This will be nice and thick coconut glaze.
You will then spread on top of each donut, and then use any leftover chocoalte to drizzle over the top of the donuts.

Notes

You may toast your coconut in the oven as well, I just preferred the method of the stove.

Store your donuts in an airtight container at room temperature. Or you can freeze the Samoa donuts for 3-4 months in the freezer.

If your donuts are drying out, you can toss them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them up a bit.

Donuts only last 1-2 days before drying out.

You can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate for these Girl Scout donuts.
