Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing your Nutella in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it’s warm and pourable. Stir it gently to ensure a smooth consistency and set it aside while you prepare the churro dough.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, ½ cup of unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ cup of granulated sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the boiling mixture in the saucepan. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a smooth ball.
- Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes before adding 2 eggs, one at a time. Mix each egg in until fully combined.
- While you allow the dough to rest, combine ½ cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- In a deep pot or a fryer, heat enough vegetable oil (about 2-3 inches deep) to reach 350°F (175°C).
- Once the oil is hot, fill a piping bag fitted with a large star tip with the churro dough. Carefully pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough directly into the hot oil.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the churro bites from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. While they are still warm, roll each churro in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Arrange your delicious Nutty Churro Bites on a serving platter, alongside the melted Nutella dip.

Notes
Store leftover churros in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
