Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped dark or semisweet chocolate
• 3/4 cup to 1 cup heavy cream (depending on how thick you want your chocolate)

Directions

• 1. In a medium saucepan, add water, butter and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until butter is completed melted. Turn off heat and add in flour. Stir until all flour is incorporated and becomes a smooth dough ball. Add in eggs and stir into dough until fully incorporated. Scoop dough into a pastry piping bag. 2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 425F. Use a large star tip (I use the 1M wilton star tip) to pipe churros. Churros should be about 4 inches long. You can also make different shapes if desired, like the heart shaped ones I made. Bake for 20-25 minutes until churros turn golden brown and are crispy (mine take around 23 minutes). 3. If you want to coat churros with sugar, let churros cool first.  Then add about 1/4 cup granulated white sugar to a plastic ziploc bag. Place a few churros inside and toss until they are completely covered in sugar. Remove and repeat until all churros are coated in sugar. 4. To make the chocolate sauce, add chocolate and heavy cream to a small saucepan over stove set to medium heat. Whisk chocolate into the heavy cream until chocolate is completely melted and chocolate sauce becomes uniform and smooth. Pour chocolate into small cups and serve with churros.
