TACO BELL STYLE CINNAMON TWISTS



Taco Bell Style Cinnamon Twists image

Copycat recipe of Taco Bell Cinnamon Twists. These are not twisted because it is very difficult to keep the twist in the dough while cooking. It's easy when done in the factory like Taco Bell's. Otherwise, these are very tasty. Your choice of cinnamon sugar (Taco Bell) or powdered sugar (Non-Taco Bell).
