These were a delicious late night snack! I couldn't find mexican chocolate or corn oil at our Target so I subbed vegetable oil and some unsweetened chocolate with milk chocolate (semi-sweet together). I didn't have a pastry bag so I used a plastic sandwich bag which made nice rods. I didn't eat them all so I will have to experiment with how to heat them up as I am sure the microwave will make them soggy. A delicious snack all over! Made for ZWT5, A Storybook Meal, Dining Daredevils. UPDATE: ok so to reheat them I baked them in the oven and also did a batch in the leftover vegetable oil. The ones in the oven ended up being crunchier while the ones that I fried again ended up being softer (but not soggy). I was very happy with the results as I know that normally fried foods can harden or dry up.

I love churros and this is a great recipe. I tried making these using corn oil and vegetable oil for the frying and it was much better with the corn oil. For some reason, they were crispier and didn't bun as easily when I used the corn oil. Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe for a sweet treat!

These were absolutely delicious and were simply inhaled by everyone for dessert tonight. I couldn't find Mexican Chocolate though, so I improvised and used semi-sweet and added cinnamon to it Thanks for sharing this, loved it! Made this for the Rail Riding Rowdies ZWT5.

My son and I made this for his school report on Spain. We made a test batch the night before and found the flavor was perfect. However, I didn't have a star tip large enough, and I could not get the center to cook without burning the outside. I will definately try again, with the correct sized tip! Thanks for sharing.

Muy delicioso!! These were easy to make and fantastic to taste. I couldn't find any Mexican chocolate, so I subbed 4oz. semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tsp. Ceylon (Mexican) cinnamon. I also used freshly grated nutmeg. Made for the Epicurean Queens ZWT5: A Storybook Meal Spain/Portugual.

Great dessert with a Mexican meal. I made half a recipe and it was more than enough for the two of us. Have lots of the chocolate caliente left over. May make the dough again real soon to use the sauce. Do make sure the rods are small so they cook all the way through. I cut the hole in the plastic bag too big.

These are great. I doubled the recipe because I needed a lot of them. I work in a restaurant as a cook and I do all the baking. On Wednesdays we have Mexican day which are our specials for the day. Our chef wanted to have so that if you ordered something Mexican you got dessert compliments of the chef- So I set off in search of a churro recipe and this is the one I chose and they were fantastic. Thanks for a great one!

So good... We skipped the chocolate and only made half a batch but still had plenty left over. My picky husband was very impressed and happy! We coated these with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Thank you!!!!

We loved these. (Even though mine didn't turn out nearly so pretty.) No matter. We ate most of them as soon as they were cool enough to not burn. I dropped one, and the dog wouldn't stop begging after that, so I think she gives it five stars (paws?), too. Made for ZWT III
