Donut Sticks With Chocolate Sauce image

Really crunchy and delicious. I used the full 2 quarts of peanut oil in my deep fryer. Use as much as your pan needs. I found the strips (twisted or not) difficult to turn so I started cutting them in circles, keeping the round dough in tack. Delicious with or without the chocolate sauce. Compliments of The Neelys.

Yield 32 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 quarts 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
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

  • 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-.

  • In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the first 6 chocolate sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer.
