So, tonight, Rachel was talking about wanting funnel cakes. She's pregnant, so I was trying to indulge her in this. I was looking online for a funnel cake recipe, and found one that I thought would work. I started looking for ingredients, when I stumbled upon a 4-pak of canned biscuits in the back of the fridge. I remembered when I was younger, some of the best treats that I could remember were when Mom would fry up a can of biscuits and we would dip them in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, and white or chocolate frosting. S0, I thought that frying up a can of donuts was close to funnel cake, or as close as I could come without pulling out a stand mixer.
I got a top from a soda bottle, and cut holes in the middle. I put fresh oil in my fryer and WHAMMO! Rachel was impressed by my ingenuity, and she got what she wanted. It was nice to be the hero. We're gonna try it again, this time with the girls. It's a cheap dessert, at the very least, and we can include the girls in prep. They'll love to help, just as we did when I was younger.

Mmmmmm, those "donuts" were so yummy. That is pretty inventive of you, Aaron- what a nice hubby to cook for your wife!
I have a suggestion. Get a bag of LARGE marshmallows, melted butter, cinnamon, sugar and a can of cresent rolls. Open the cresent rolls and lay them flat out. Take the marshmallows and put it in the butter then roll in the cinnamon sugar. Put a marshmallow (or two) in the big part of the cresent roll and role like usually and bake. They are YUMMY!
