Step-by-Step Instructions (Perfect Every Time)

Step 1: Prep the Bites

Open can, separate biscuits.
Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces, roll into balls.

Step 2: Cook to Golden Perfection

Air fryer (best results):
Preheat to 350°F.
Arrange bites in single layer (don’t overcrowd — do batches).
Air fry 6–8 minutes until deep golden.

Oven:
Preheat to 375°F.
Bake on parchment-lined sheet 10–12 minutes.

Step 3: The Viral Coating

While hot, brush generously with melted butter.
Toss in cinnamon sugar until fully coated (use a zip bag for zero mess).

Step 4: The Money Glaze

Whisk powdered sugar + milk + vanilla + salt until smooth.
Drizzle over warm bites — it melts into all the crevices.

Pro Tips for Next-Level Results

• Use Grands! Butter Tastin’ — fluffiest results

Variations That Slap

• Apple pie: add diced apples + apple pie spice
• Pumpkin spice: pumpkin pie spice + cream cheese glaze
• Nutella stuffed: add Nutella in center before cooking
• Churro: add extra cinnamon + chocolate sauce

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Using regular biscuits → dry results
2. Overcrowding → soggy instead of crispy
3. Cold butter → sugar doesn’t stick
4. Glazing cold bites → glaze slides off

Serving Suggestions

• Game day snack
• Kids’ lunchbox treat
• Midnight snack (don’t judge)

Storage & Reheating

• Room temp: 1 day
