     Title: Copycat Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists
Categories: Five, Snacks, Spices
     Yield: 6 Servings

          Oil; for deep-fat frying
   1/2 c  Sugar
     2 tb Ground cinnamon
     4 oz Spiral duros (heaping 1 c)
     1 pn Salt

 Pour oil into a large pot, Dutch oven or deep fryer to a depth of 2
 to 3". Heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F/175°C
 on a digital thermometer.

 While the oil heats, stir sugar and cinnamon together in a small
 bowl; set aside. Line a cooling rack with paper towels.

 Using a slotted spoon, place a scoop of duros into the hot oil;
 once the duros float, cook 10 to 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°F.

 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.

 Serve the cinnamon twists immediately. To store them, transfer the
 cooled twists to a sealed container. Store them at room temperature
 for 3 to 4 days.
