Picture this: golden-brown sticks of delight, piping hot and dusted generously with cinnamon-sugar, awaiting your eager taste buds. Each crunchy bite bursts with a symphony of flavors, leaving you in a state of pure bliss. These churros don’t just taste great; they’re happiness on a stick!
Walking through Disneyland without indulging in one of these iconic treats is a cardinal sin for any visitor. It’s like missing out on a piece of the park’s soul—a sin against the very essence of joy itself! Trust me; you don’t want to experience that regret. So, as you wander through the enchanting streets of Disneyland, let the aroma of freshly baked churros guide you to a state of culinary nirvana. After all, happiness tastes best when it’s sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar and served in the form of a Disney churro!
But while there are plenty of Churro carts around the parks, the best ones are sometimes the special limited time churros. The problem then is, what if you miss them? How sad would you be? Grab our Churro Checklist and mark them off as you enjoy the crunchy goodness.
But what if you don’t live near the parks or its 2:00 a.m. and you have a need for a churro? Disney was nice enough to actually post the recipe for their churros on their blog. Here’s the link, but if you don’t have time I’ll show you the recipe.
