  • Traditional churros are deep-fried strips of dough rolled in cinnamon and sugar. We simplified the treat by making churros with crescent rolls. Simply bake crescent dough strips and sprinkle them with cinnamon-sugar—a quick way to get a crispy, sugary dessert!
  • Microwave chocolate chips in 30-second intervals until melted. Serve with freshly baked crescent roll churros.
