Chocolate-Coated Churros

Chocolate-Coated Churros

EverydayCookedSweetened

Chocolate-coated churros are a sweet fried pastry featuring a crisp, ridged dough base dipped in a rich chocolate shell. Traditionally made by piping dough through a star-shaped tip before frying, these churros gain their signature crunch from the cooking process and are often rolled in cinnamon sugar before being enrobed in dark or milk chocolate. While popular as a dessert or snack in Spanish and Latin American cuisines, their high carbohydrate and sugar content positions them as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily dietary staple.
