Oh jeez! Why oh why must I torture myself with endless irresistible delights during the Holidays? I mean, stretchy pants just don’t look nice at Christmas parties and Potlucks..lol! Not to mention, by the time New Year’s Eve rolls around it will all have hit..and hit hard. Sorry, but a glittery Moo-Moo won’t get me a kiss at midnight!
Eh..whatever, since the world clearly didn’t end we can celebrate with some naughty treats! And don’t let these little, unassuming cuties fool you! They might be small one bite wonders, but these perfect puffs are jam packed with all the flavor of a giant Snickerdoodle..that’s right! 🙂
Since it’s what’s on the inside that counts, these Cinnamony, puffy pillows are extra special! Why? ..well, they’re filled with thick Pastry Cream a.k.a Vanilla Pudding, just in case you needed even more of a reason to love them! 🙂
What you’ll need for 32 sensational Snickerdoodle Poppers:
1 can of Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits
1 Box of instant Vanilla JELLO
1 1/2 Cups of Cinnamon Sugar
Oil for frying
A flavor injector (usually found by the marinades and bbq sauces) OR a pastry frosting tip will work too!
Directions:
Unroll the biscuits and cut them into fourths. Roll each piece into a ball…
Prepare the instant Vanilla pudding according to the directions and set aside..or feel free to make your own Pastry Cream! 🙂
In a medium pot heat up about 2″ of oil (I used Canola)
Place about 4 balls at a time into the hot (350 degrees) oil and fry until both sides are evenly golden…
Straight from the oil into the Cinnamon, coat the hot Poppers in the Cinnamon Sugar…and coat them goood!
Carefully inject each popper with some of the Vanilla Pudding.
Pile up a gorgeous Snickerdoodle mountain of them…
Eat your way to the top one Popper at a time! ~Enjoy! 🙂
my oldest daughter loves snicker doodle cookies.gonna try to make some of these to give her next time we get together. they look yummy
Mmmm! They look easy enough to make on Christmas Day when my family comes over! Thank You! If you have anymore Easy Delicious Recipes, when send them to my email address! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Looks like a yummy way to celebrate! Will put this on my to-do-list. I suppose the cake decorating end you use to fill cupcakes would work too?
YESSS!! I didn’t even think about those tips..duh! haha! 🙂
Those look wonderful! I may have to make some tomorrow for the hubs – that should get me taken out to dinner!
HAHA…it better get you taken out! 🙂
The only change I can imagine making these any better would be to fill them with a thickened version of the cream cheese frosting you put on “cinnamon” rolls the other day.
You know you’re killing me here…lol
YEPPERS…Little Cheesecake Bites, into my idea book they go! Thank you! 😉
I’m going to try it with cheesecake flavored pudding!
This is the 3rd time I’ve seen a recipe for cheesecake pudding. I’ve looked in all our local markets, where you all finding it?
What Cheesecake Pudding? 🙂
you can find cheesecake pudding in the jello section it is jello brand
Make cheesecake filling by mixing 2 bricks of cream cheese with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk.
Try Walmart They have it.
I think I love you.:-)
Holy Moly!!! Those look awesome and super easy! If you use half Heavy Whipping Cream and half milk when you make the pudding it adds a whole ‘nother demention to the pudding. I may or may not have a slight addiction to Pistachio Pudding made this way. My thighs hate me o_O
I found you through Pinterest. I’ll be back for sure!
LOVE that idea…thank you! 🙂
Looks so yummy! Can’t wait to make with my 5 year old! Thanks for sharing!
I love your recipe and your ideas….get that cook book going. LOLuck!
Made these today for my husbands football game. Easy and delicious!!!!!!!!!!! My kids medicine syringe worked perfectly for injecting the pudding so I didn’t have to go buy the special meat thingy! Will def be making it again!!!!!
And another reader suggested a cupcake frosting tip with the bag to inject..duh, I felt so dumb..LOL! Happy you liked them! 🙂
I wondered if a medicine syringe would work!!!
A frosting tip will work…lol! 🙂
Even a sandwich size ziplock will work if you only cut a “small tip” corner off. Those work in a pich for gazillions of decorating, filling, plating decoration, etc.
Can these go in the frige over night
?
Sure..but eat them at room temp. 🙂
Just wondering if you had any issues with the oil splattering? My mom is overly paranoid and doesn’t want to try the recipe because of placing the biscuits in oil to fry them.
Do you have any tips or suggestions for me to be able to still attempt this recipe?
Just be sure to use a deep pot and leave room for the oil to bubble up. 🙂
Also, they sell splatter screens very inexpensively in catalogs and cooking utensil aisle most everywhere. Cuts down on burns and cleanup.
Great idea! 🙂
I will give these a try! Thanks!
I have made the donut holes for years but this is a great twist to them! thank you!!
Sounds yummy!! Now I’m thinking Boston Cream Poppers, nix the cinnamon sugar and drizzle chocolate glaze on top!!! Hmm….Creme Brulee with caramel….the wheels are turning here. ; )
Fantastic idea Lynette. I wanted to try these SOO bad but I am allergic to cinnamon so it was a no go. But I didnt even think about a boston cream pie version. YAY! Im so making these tomorrow!!!
I have a Boston Cream version coming soon! 🙂
No worries on the cinnamon… My grandma always made “donut holes” this way and used just plain sugar. Never a leftover in sight! 🙂
Powdered sugar or a glaze would be great too.
Oookaaaayyy. There goes my resolution to stay away from sugar! 😉 These look amazing! I need to make them soon! Found you on Faceboon and I am SO GLAD I DID!!!
Don’t forget they make sugar-free pudding and it taste good.
Yum! I will have to make these soon!
For a Boston Cream-type filling, mix 1 cup milk with pudding mix, and then fold in 1/2 cup Cool Whip. Pastry Cream without all the work!
Where where where can I get flakey layers biscuits is AUSTRALIA???
