Ingredients
- Peanut oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup sugar, for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for dusting
- 2 (8-ounce) cans crescent rolls (recommended: Pillsbury)
- Chocolate Sauce, for serving, recipe follows
Directions
In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Slice the seamless dough sheets into 1-inch strips from the shorter length of the dough. Make sure that the strips are not longer than your deep-fryer is wide. Twist each dough strip, and then drop, 3 at a time, into the fryer. Fry the donut sticks until golden brown and crisp, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, flipping with tongs about half way through. Remove the donuts from the fryer and dust with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve with the chocolate sauce.
Chocolate Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the first 6 ingredients and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the chocolate, vanilla, and butter and stir until the sauce is smooth.

So simple and easy but delicious. My husband and I made these this afternoon and almost polished off 1/2 the batch between the two of us. We skipped the chocolate sauce and just rolled some in cinnamon sugar and some in powdered sugar. We found that just sprinkling the sugar on top was not enough.
