Chocolate Nutty Dough-NUTS
You guys! Have you heard? Don't go nuts when I tell you! THE NUT JOB 2 will be in theaters on August 11th. In anticipation of this adorable family flick and the ending of summer, I wanted to share something fun to make with your family to celebrate. Everyone loves doughnuts, so get ready to make chocolate nutty dough-NUTS to get the party started! This is a sponsored post about THE NUT JOB 2, all opinions are my own.
They are so easy to make which is a big bonus. THE NUT JOB 2 looks like a super cute and funny movie, so get the whole family in the kitchen to build some excitement. It's been a few years since the original movie came out, now it's time for the zany follow up! With the familiar voices of Will Arnett, Maya Rudolf, Jackie Chan and Katherine Heigl, this movie is sure to speak to your entire family.
With summer fading quickly, heading to the theater is a great way to go out with a bang! Let's have a little fun first with these epic end of summer treats!
Chocolate Nutty Dough-NUTS
I've always been a fan of playing with food, especially if I get to enjoy it after. To make these dough-NUTS a family affair, start off with plain old fashioned donuts. Set out all of your toppings so that everyone can add their own. This is the fun part.
Chocolate Peanut Doughnut Toppings
Starting off with six plain donuts, here are the topping measurements to make these delish delights.
Chocolate Frosting (¾ Cup)
Salted Peanuts (Loosely Crushed) (1 Cup)
Chocolate Candy Bar (Chopped into bits) (Half of a 2.6oz bar)
Colorful Sprinkles
Start by spreading the chocolate frosting on top of each donut. (Yum)
Generously sprinkle the loosely crushed peanuts all over the frosted area of the donut.
Add sprinkles and press everything into the frosting to stick.
As a final delicious touch, add a few bits of chocolate bar to each donut. Hmm. 
After the watching THE NUT JOB 2 trailer, these salty and sweet nutty donuts really drive the theme home to me. What do you think?
Save the date & celebrate the last days of summer!
The Nut Job 2 will be in theaters on August 11th!

This looks like such a cute movie and those donuts are to die for. They won't last long at my house.
This is my kind of donut. I am loving all of the different toppings.
Great looking donuts. Fun to make too
We have food allergies so we can't make it exactly, but these look so much fun - might attempt our version of it. 🙂
Those look amazing! I would love to make these for my girls. We would love to have them. Such a great treat to have.
Those chocolate frosted donuts with nut and candy toppings look so mouthwatering. I loved The original Nut Job and can't wait for the sequel to arrive in theaters soon.
Oh my goodness, I am drooling! What a fun treat! My kids cannot wait to see this movie.
I love movie-themed recipes...especially when it's a movie we're looking forward to as a family! We'll have to have a full day celebration when The Nut Job 2 hits theaters. I know my kids will love the doughnuts! 🙂
These look so delicious and easy to make. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make some this week. We are looking forward to seeing THE NUT JOB 2 this Aug.
We are so excited to go see THE NUT JOB 2. I will have to try making these delicious looking donuts this weekend. I am sure they will be a big hit.
Now these are some doughnuts! We can't wait to see this movie and I love all the nuttiness of this fun treat to get ready to see it.
We enjoyed the first Nut Job movie, so I bet this new one will be super cute. And those donuts? Oh.My.Yum!
This looks like a lot of fun even to make. It's easy and the kiddos would love it because they can throw on whatever they want. I just found out that they were making a new movie! The older one cracked me up so I can't wait to see this one.
Chocolate and peanut butter are my favorite desert/snack combinations! This chocolate peanut donut recipe looks like a lot of fun to make with our grand kids!
Seriously?!!! WOW - I don't think I can make these because my kids would be begging for them every day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. They look delicious.
Doughnuts and a movie really do sound like the perfect combination!
Everything in this post looks fun. Doughnuts and movie too. Looking forward to both.
This is the best looking donut I've ever seen! EVER! What could be better than a donut covered in chocolate, nuts, and candy? Nothing. The answer is nothing.
