Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In medium saucepan over medium heat, add in butter, morsels and instant coffee granules. Melt together while stirring. Remove melted chocolate from stove and add in vanilla extract, brown sugar, and sour cream. Mix until combined then add in egg yolk and vigorously whisk. Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir until fully combined.

Step 3

Grease a mini muffin pan. Using a mini ice-cream scoop, drop rounded scoops into muffin pan.

Step 4

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until donut muffins rise and crack along top. Cool in pan until ready to assemble.

Unwind licorice and separate into individual ropes. Cut into 1-inch sections. Spread about 1 teaspoon of chocolate frosting over chocolate donut holes and then press licorice legs into muffin one by one. Place googly eyes on and then sprinkle with chocolate jimmies/sprinkles.
