Ingredients

For the donuts

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 egg
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup water

For the glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tbs milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the toppings

chopped Oreo cookies
chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

To make the donuts

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a donut pan or two with cooking spray and set them aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the cake mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until combined.
Using a piping bag, or spoon, fill the donut pan(s) up about ½-3/4 of the way.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts are done all the way through. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

To make the glaze

In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar a bit of the milk, and the vanilla extract. (see notes)
Spoon the glaze liberally over the tops of the donuts. Add as many chopped Oreos and sprinkles as your heart desires.

Notes

Notes: Find that your glaze is too thin? Add some more powdered sugar. Too thick? More milk. Keep going until you hit on a consistency that you're happy with.
