homemade cronuts.

Don't you love it when a night that is apt to be a total week-night bore turns into something completely epic just by turning on the oven and baking your heart out? I must mention, too, that it's pretty fun to experiment with a recipe that could be a total win or a total fail, but when it's just you and your roomie in the end, who cares! Okay so who wants the recipe?? Scroll down for this #lifechanger. Side note: these are perfect for the holidays + they are totally not healthy (but they are beyond yum). P.S. it is rumored that these sweet treats are overtaking New York and London. Add that to your list of reasons to indulge.IMG_4092 Ingredients:-Pillsbury "flaky layers" biscuits-Canola oil-Cane sugar-Cinnamon-Dark or milk chocolate (whatever you prefer; get one that can be easily melted)-Vanilla extract-Salt Let's get started:1. Get a good sized sauce pan and pour canola oil in it until it is approximately half way full. This is what you will fry the donuts in!2. Heat the oil a little below medium on your stove top. Now open the biscuit package and lay out each biscuit. Poke a hole in the middle of each...SAVE THESE (we used these for cronut holes!) Your oil should be at the perfect temperature at this point.3. Before you fry the donuts, create a plate with a paper towel on top.4. In a bowl, mix cane sugar and cinnamon. Predict the amounts! You can make it as sugar dominant or cinnamon dominant as you want.5. Dipping sauce* Get a small sauce pan to melt the chocolate. Place the chocolate in the pan and melt on a medium heat. **It's important to stir constantly so it doesn't burn. When completed, turn the stove off. Leave the pan on the cook top so that it stays warm.6. Add half a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla to the chocolate.7. Place each prepared "donut" into the oil (we were able to fit three in the pan at a time). Let this side fry for one minute or until golden brown and flip. Do the same thing on this side. Place the fried donuts on the paper towel plate.8. Once you have completed frying the donuts, roll them in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.9. Pour the chocolate into a bowl.10.
