Heat oil in a large sauce pot over medium heat to 350°F.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a wide bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pudding, and eggs together with an electric mixer until well blended, mixture will be thick. Scrape dough into a piping bag fitted with a medium size star tip.
Pipe 2-inch strips directly into the pre-heated oil, using kitchen scissors to cut the dough from the piping bag. Work in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through. Work close to the oil to avoid splashing and do not overcrowd, piping about 6 at a time. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted metal spoon to drain. Repeat with remaining dough.
While still warm, toss churro donut bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated. Remove churro donut bites to a serving plate and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serve churro donut bites with a warm cinnamon-spiced chocolate dipping sauce. Heat 1 cup Duncan Hines® Creamy Chocolate Frosting with 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl in 10 second intervals, stirring each time, until thin enough to dip.
Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the oil. If the oil is too cold the dough will absorb too much oil. If the oil is too hot the outside will burn before the inside of the dough is cooked through.
