Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while cutting the dough.

1 Can biscuit dough
2
Make the cinnamon sugar
Shallow bowl

In a shallow bowl, stir together granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon fine salt until evenly mixed; set the cinnamon sugar near the stove.

3/4 Cup sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon salt
3
Set up the chocolate sauce base
Heatproof bowl

Place semisweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon fine salt in a heatproof bowl.

1 Cup chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 Teaspoon salt
4
Heat the cream
Heatproof bowl
Small saucepan

Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming with tiny bubbles at the edge, then pour it over the chocolate chips and let stand for 2 minutes.

Pour hot cream slowly to avoid steam burns and splashes.

3/4 Cup heavy cream
1 Cup chocolate chips
5
Finish the chocolate sauce
Whisk
Heatproof bowl

Whisk the chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy, then keep the sauce warm and pourable while frying the bites.

1 Cup chocolate chips
3/4 Cup heavy cream
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 Teaspoon salt
6
Heat the frying oil
Instant-read thermometer
Paper towels
Rimmed baking sheet
10-inch heavy skillet

Pour vegetable oil into the skillet to about 1/2 inch deep and heat over medium until the oil reaches 350°F; line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.

Keep children and pets away from the stove while the oil heats.

2 Cup vegetable oil
7
Fry the dough bites
Slotted spoon
10-inch heavy skillet

Fry the dough in batches, adding pieces carefully without crowding, and turn often until puffed and deep golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch.

Add dough pieces gently to reduce hot oil splashes.

Do not overcrowd the skillet because bubbling oil can rise and overflow.

1 Can biscuit dough
2 Cup vegetable oil
8
Drain and coat
Paper towels
Slotted spoon
Rimmed baking sheet
Shallow bowl

Transfer fried bites to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon and let them drain for 30 seconds, then toss them while hot and lightly oily in the cinnamon sugar.

Let excess hot oil drain briefly before tossing the bites in sugar.

1 Can biscuit dough
3/4 Cup sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon salt
9
Repeat with remaining dough
Instant-read thermometer
Slotted spoon
Shallow bowl
10-inch heavy skillet

Repeat frying and coating until all bites are done, adjusting heat as needed to keep the oil near 350°F and the coating evenly cinnamon-sugared.

Monitor the oil temperature and adjust heat to reduce splattering and prevent greasy dough.

1 Can biscuit dough
2 Cup vegetable oil
3/4 Cup sugar
1 1/2 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon salt
