Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Stack phyllo sheets and brush each lightly with melted butter.

  3. Step 3

    Cut phyllo stack into 2-inch squares. Crumple each square into a loose ball.

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a phyllo piece sizzles immediately on contact, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Fry phyllo balls in batches 60 seconds per side until golden brown and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.

    Drain on paper towels, then toss in cinnamon sugar while still warm.

  7. Step 7

    Serve hot with chocolate and caramel dips on the side.
