This is the taste for the most delicious 'fried sticks' that you may know as churros.
Churros they are the Spanish answer to doughnuts, and their preparation is extremely easy. That's why they are a great companion for autumn evenings, as they go perfectly with hot chocolate.

- 100 g of dark chocolate
- 125 ml of sweet cream

- Fry the dough for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Place the churros on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Then roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
