  1. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits. Carefully separate and cut a hole in the center of each biscuit to create donut shapes.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes and lightly grease the air fryer basket.
  3. Place the donuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until they turn golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a double boiler over low heat, melt chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and a splash of milk until reaching the desired consistency.
  5. Dip each warm donut into the chocolate glaze, then transfer to a wire rack. Add sprinkles or toppings before the glaze sets.
