Doughnut substitute

Trying to have a healthy diet is all very well but sometimes I just fancy a doughnut. It's a funny thing really because most doughnuts are so, so horribly sweet that wanting to eat one is better than actually eating one. Nevertheless, the first bite is usually a pleasurable experience. Of course, the very best ones are those freshly cooked ones you can sometimes buy on markets; even better on a cold winter's day. Maybe it's the rarity of this experience that makes it so special. Anyway, if you'd like to recreate the warm, freshly cooked doughnut experience at home and not feel too bad about it, try this...

You will need a brioche roll (readily available in supermarkets), a jar of hazelnut chocolate spread (Green and Blacks is best), and a microwave. Slice the roll in half across the middle then reclose it. Place it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Open the roll up and let the steam disperse for about 1 minute then smear it was chocolate spread, close and eat. It's handy too because microwaving the brioche revives it no matter how stale it has gone. A delicious, indulgent mid morning or afternoon snack.
