Our local shop does lots of filled doughnuts.
Everyone eats the jam-filled, apple-filled or custard-filled doughnuts. But no-one will even look at the chocolate-filled doughnuts.
Would anyone here eat them, or is it just a sugar overload?

I've seen chocolate-filled donuts, and they always look like the filling is chocolate frosting. I love chocolate frosting, but it DOES seem like an awfully big gob of it in there, and isn't that appealing to me.
I like the ones with the custard filling and the chocolate on top. Now that's a spectacular donut.
If it's a chocolate custard and I was feeling masochistic enough to eat that much sugar and fat in one sitting, I might have a chocolate-filled doughnut. But if it's frosting like Sarah says, that wouldn't really appeal. It seems like every time I get a filled doughnut with anything other than jelly it just turns out to have been stuffed with a whipped sugar and lard mixture.
Even custard can be too cloying for me. Raspberry jam/jelly is the One True Filling.
Yep, I like raspberry or blueberry jam-filled donuts, too, although the custard-filled donuts with chocolate on top are mighty tasty. I've had cinnamon-apple filling, too, and it's also yummy.
Chocolate filling would be Just Too Much of a Good Thing, IMHO.
Honestly, doughnuts have less and less of an appeal to me, the older I get. With the exception of dunkin donuts blueberry glazed donut holes. Those are delicious. But not the whole doughnut, that's too much. One or two donutholes, though and I'm in heaven.
Dunkin' Donuts makes (although you don't see them as often as you used to) a chocolate frosting filled donut they call "chocolate kreme". I used to LOVE it as a kid, but I don't know if I could eat it now.
I loved chocolate-filled doughnuts when I was a teenager, but they were always rather cloying, you had to eat them with a drink of milk or they were just too much.
