Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists
Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists are light, crispy snacks made by frying spiraled duros in hot oil until they puff up, then coating them generously in a cinnamon sugar mixture. The twists have a crunchy texture with a sweet cinnamon flavor, replicating the fast-food treat at home. They are best enjoyed fresh and warm for maximum crispiness.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- vegetable oil for frying
- 4 ounces duros spiral-shaped
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and stir.
- Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep fryer.
- Place the duros into the fryer, about 15 at a time. Nothing will happen for the first few seconds. Then they will suddenly puff up. Continue cooking for 5 seconds after they have puffed up.
- Remove the duros from the oil and transfer them to a wire rack to drain.

Notes
- If you lack a deep fryer, use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven and monitor oil temperature carefully with a thermometer.
- Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F for consistent puffing and crispiness.
- Work in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even frying of the duros.
