I love churros and I always get them whenever I see street vendors selling churros.
Little G is a big fan of churros, too.
I remember paying $8 for a churro insider Disneyland.
Ouch.
To take matters into my own hands, my kitchen assistant Kendoll and I made these easy churros.
With Valentine’s Day just days away, we made these churros into heart shapes, and drizzled them with rich and creamy chocolate sauce.
What a great idea, now that’s a versatile churros recipe that you can use anytime of the year, and for special occasions, too!
Make a bunch of these easy heart-shaped churros for your sweethearts.
Have a great Valentine’s Day!

A bargain recipe that is as much fun as something costing $$$. Easy, too! I don’t have a deep fat fryer, so used a sauce pan and thermometer and could only do a couple at a time–put in one and as soon as it is going well, about 1 minute, ease in a 2nd, then #3. Doing a batch didn’t take long. My grandsons loved them
