Preparation

Step 1

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 3/4-inches oil on high. Depending on your size skillet will determine how much oil is necessary. Bring oil to a sizzle when you drop a couple drops of water into it.

While the oil is preheating, separate biscuits and using a 1-inch circle cutter, I used a cannoli tube, pop center hole out of each biscuit so it resembles a donut. Fry each biscuit for 2 to 3 minutes each side. Allow to cool and dry on paper towels.

While donuts are cooling, make chocolate glaze. In a small saucepan on medium low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla, and corn syrup. When butter is completely melted, turn heat to low and add in the chocolate, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
Dip each donut into the glaze. Drizzle the melted Hershey Cookies 'n Cream bar over each donut and immediately sprinkle with crushed cookies. Allow the chocolate to set, about 15 minutes. Serve fresh.
