Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add butter, brown sugar, salt, and water, and bring to a boil.
- As soon as the butter has fully melted and the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and add in flour.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together to form a ball and there are no lumps.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes before proceeding to the next step (to prevent accidentally cooking the eggs).
- Mix in the vanilla extract and add in the eggs, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next.
- Once all the eggs are incorporated, transfer it to a piping bag with a large star tip.
- On a nonstick baking sheet, pipe the dough in circles leaving a hole in the center.
- Place the chocolate chips in a ring and top with remaining dough, making sure there are no gaps in between each layer.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze until solid, about 3 hours or overnight.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350˚F (175˚C).
- Remove the baking tray from the freezer and use a butter knife to release the churro donuts. Return any extras to the freezer while you wait to fry.
- Fry the donuts in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, until brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Drain on a paper towel before rolling in cinnamon sugar.
- Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE COVERED STUFF
Steps:
- Bring a saucepan with 1 inch of water to a boil. Put the chocolate in a large metal or heatproof glass mixing bowl and place on top of the saucepan with boiling water. Pay careful attention that the mixing bowl does not touch the surface of the boiling water. Stir the chocolate until it is almost melted. Remove it from the saucepan and continue to stir until the chocolate is completely melted. This entire process should take no more than 5 to 10 minutes.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or waxeds paper. Dip each biscotti or pretzel in the chocolate to cover half of each and then dip in the sprinkles or candy cane pieces. Set each piece on the lined cookie sheet to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Store in cool airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.
- Try not to eat them all at the same time.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the final product, so be sure to use a good-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering your chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way, which helps to stabilize the chocolate and give it a smooth, glossy finish. While it's not essential for all chocolate recipes, it is recommended for making chocolate truffles and other molded chocolates.
- Don't overheat the chocolate: Chocolate is delicate and can easily burn, so be careful not to overheat it. If you're melting chocolate in a microwave, do it in short bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Use a double boiler or heatproof bowl: When melting chocolate, it's best to use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. This will help to prevent the chocolate from scorching.
- Let the chocolate cool completely before using it: Once you've melted the chocolate, let it cool completely before using it. This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing (becoming thick and grainy).
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can easily make delicious chocolate treats at home. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned baker, there's a chocolate recipe out there for everyone. So get creative and have fun!
