Chinese Donuts w/ Salted Chocolate

7/2012

So the story behind these little devils starts with a move to a new neighborhood. After my grandmother passed, everyone was in a sullen mood. So I knew that we needed some cheering up. I remembered that my cousins and I, would always scrap up a dollar to go to the local Asian restaurant to get a handful of the softest donuts. The ones we got in the past were deep-fried and rolled in sugar. I decided to add my own taste to them. (My taste is usually chocolate btw...) After i tasted a couple with only the swirl I realized that they were just sweet morsels not yummy deserts. So to balance out the extreme sweet, I added a sprinkle of sea salt flakes. It was like a trip down memory lane. The taste of sweet chocolate clouds. Definitely one of my favorite memories, and a comforting feeling to ease the soul. Are there any comfort food that you like to eat when you're down?
