This mini churro snack mix recipe is a sweet combination that would work well for children's parties or as an after-school or road trip treat. The sweet blend of cinnamon and sugar are one of the many reasons why churros are so popular throughout the world. The beauty of these tasty treats is that they are easy to make using puff pastry and almost everyone enjoys them.
Ingredients
Traditional churros are deep-fried. This version is baked so you don't need to worry about heating up oil or having to drain the excess oil off the finished product. You can find the ingredients in almost any supermarket, and they shouldn't break the budget.
- frozen puff pastry (1 sheet) - thawed
- cinnamon powder
- sugar
- gummy candies
- raisins
How to Make it
- Preheat oven. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF. Once the pastry sheet has thawed, unfold it.
- Cut dough. Cut the dough into 1 inch-wide strips and then once in half so they are approximately 5 or 6 inches long. (You can use a pizza cutter.)
- Roll it up. Combine the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Make mini rolls with the dough by rolling the strips up. Cover them with the cinnamon sugar.
- Bake. Place them on a pan lined with a silicone baking mat. Bake in the preheated oven until golden and baked through, about 15 minutes. Let cool on a baking rack.
- Serve. Combine the mini churros with the gummy candies and raisins. Serve.
Tweaks
If you want to change things up a bit, these mini churros go well with other flavors. Serve them with a dipping sauce like melted chocolate, dulce de leche, or guava mixed with cream cheese. Nutella and peanut butter both go well with the flavor of the churros.
You can switch out the raisins or gummy candies for mini cookies or dried fruit. Feel free to add in some roasted nuts to break away from the sweetness.
Storage
- The churros can be kept for a couple of days in an air-tight container at room temperature or frozen for up to 3 months.
- The rest of the snack mix should keep well for up to 6 months so you may want to store them separately and combine when ready to eat.
