Sweet and crunchy copycat Taco Bell cinnamon twists are ridiculously easy to make at home, so skip the drive-thru!

Ingredients

• oil for deep-fat frying
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 4 ounces spiral duros (about 1 overflowing cup)
• pinch salt

Directions

1. Pour oil into a large pot, Dutch oven or deep fryer to a depth of 2-3 in. Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350° on a digital thermometer.
2. While the oil heats, stir sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside. Line a cooling rack with paper towels.
3. Using a slotted spoon, place a scoop of duros into the hot oil; once the duros float, cook 10-15 seconds or until duros are completely puffed and crisp. Use the slotted spoon to remove from the oil; transfer to the paper towel-lined rack. Repeat this step with the remaining duros, checking the oil temperature between batches to be sure it remains at 350°.
4. While still warm, transfer fried duros to a large bowl; sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top. Use a large spoon to toss the duros until completely coated.
5. Serve the cinnamon twists immediately. To store them, transfer the cooled twists to a sealed container. Store them at room temperature for 3-4 days.
