Chocolate-Dippy Doughnuts

• Peanut oil
• 1 can store-bought biscuits
• 1 (4-ounce) bar sweet chocolate (recommended: Baker's German's)
• 1/2 -ounce (1/2 square) unsweetened chocolate
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Preheat fryer with peanut oil to 350 degrees F.
2. Separate pre-cut biscuits.
3. Make a hole in the middle with your hand and sculpt dough into a doughnut shape.
4. Place doughnuts into fryer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping to fry both sides.
5. Place doughnuts aside onto a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil.
6. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over very low heat.
7. Stir in the sugar, alternating with the evaporated milk, blending well.
8. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
9. Lower the heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, about 8 minutes.
10. Stir in the vanilla then remove the pan from the heat.
11. Stick a fork through the doughnut holes and dip the doughnuts immediately into the chocolate mixture before the chocolate starts to cool.
12. Place the doughnuts on a plate and serve when the chocolate on the doughnuts sets, about 5 minutes.
