Crispy Croissant Treats

This recipe sort of reminds me of Mexican Bunuelos. I used to make Bunuelos at Christmas to give as gifts, in Christmas Tins. They're a Crisp, Deep Fried Dough, sort of like a Fried Croissant Dough and it's coated in Cinnamon and Sugar. Here's a new treat that I call Crispy Croissant Treats. You could also make these at Christmas and give them as gifts in Decorative Holiday Tins.

NOTE:
Now that I've made them I have a few thoughts about it. I decided to keep it on the Blog. I wasn't impressed with the look in the beginning. But, I cut the dough in half before baking them because we were having more than 8 guests for a party. I think I'll keep the dough whole the next time and just break them into pieces after they're baked. They're crispy, delicious and taste great with a cup of coffee.

For the Holidays you can make them with
Duncan Hines Confetti Cake Mix.
