I just had to try these because I have never heard of such a thing. They turned out exceptionally good. The batter, after frying, was cruchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The brown sugar gave it just a hint of sweetness while the onion kept is slightly savory. Great idea. Thanks for posting.
