1

Cut each one of the 8 Grands!™ Biscuits into 4s, giving you a total of 32 pieces.
2

Roll each piece into a ball.
3

Heat oil to between 360-375°F for best frying results. Using tongs, add 3-4 biscuit ball pieces at a time. You dont want too many or you will not be able to turn them quick enough and they might burn. Watch carefully as they will fry up quickly. Turn with the tongs to keep from burning.
4

Once good and brown (you want to make sure they cook all the way through) remove from oil and place on a paper towel to soak up extra grease. Repeat with all 32 pieces of dough.
5

Once cooled take out vanilla pudding from fridge. Place vanilla pudding into a piping bag fitted with a metal tip. Poke the metal tip into the biscuit ball piece and pipe pudding into the biscuit until it starts to come out of the hole.
6

Place frosting into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds. It will be more like a glaze now. Drizzle chocolate frosting over the pudding filled biscuit balls.
7

Let frosting set up. You can place them into fridge for a bit to help speed the process. Best if eaten the same day that you make.
