We use Trader Joe's Hand-Twisted Cinnamon Sugar Bread to make cinnamon sugar french toast sticks that taste just like the inside of a gooey cinnamon roll. They're served with a side of powdered sugar and orange glaze for your dunking pleasure. They're easy, fast, delicious, and fun. Makes 18-20 sticks, depending on how big you cut them.
