Spring is finally here and with that comes a really fun (and yummy!) holiday: Cinco de Mayo! One of the best ways to celebrate this day is to eat, a lot. There are so many delicious Mexican desserts to enjoy, and we’ve put a spin on some traditional treats with our pretzels. Give these Cinco de Mayo themed recipes a try and let us know which is your favorite!
Chocolate Pretzel Churros
Ingredients
-Churros
-Chocolate dipping sauce
-Crushed Fatty Sundays Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels
Directions
Churros are a labor of love to make, so we recommend heading to your favorite Mexican spot and ordering some ready-made churros for you to get creative with. If you’re in NY, definitely check out Sweet Churros or La Churreria - yum! Make sure to ask for chocolate dipping sauce, or you can easily make your own by melting chopped semi sweet chocolate bars in a double boiler. Then all you’ll need to do is dip the churros in the chocolate and roll them in crushed Fatty Sundays cinnamon sugar pretzels. Pair your churros with our Fatty Sundays Horchata Milkshake recipe!
