That chocolate glaze on top puts these little monsters a notch above the rest!
The donut muffins themselves, consist of 2 Major Ingredients ----> Yellow cake mix and 1 can of pumpkin.
How easy is that? As an option, I added in some pumpkin spice 
Plus, The Chocolate Ganache layer is optional, but it really take these donut muffins up a notch, if you desire that rich, lovely pumpkin-chocolate combination.
Ummm... yea?! Or you can dip them in your own favorite frosting. Place a tub of frosting in the microwave for 15 seconds and dip your muffin tops right in.
