Equipment

1 Medium saucepan
1 Whisk
1 Wooden Spoon or Spatula
1 Large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip
1 Deep fryer or large pot
1 Tongs or slotted spoon
1 Paper towel-lined plate
Food processor or sturdy plastic bag and rolling pin

Ingredients

1 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 Tbsp Granulated sugar
1/4 Tsp Salt
1 Cup All-purpose flour
1 Large Egg
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
4-6 Full-sized Kit Kat bars (or equivalent)

Instructions

Make the Dough:
In a saucepan, heat water, butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Add Flour:
Reduce heat to low. Immediately add flour and stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a ball.
Incorporate Egg:
Remove pan from heat. Transfer dough to a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.
Heat Oil:
Fill a deep fryer or large pot with 2 inches of oil. Heat to 360°F (180°C). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
Pipe and Fry:
Transfer dough to the pastry bag. Pipe 4-5 inch ropes of dough directly into the hot oil. Use a knife or scissors to cut the dough. Fry in batches until golden brown, flipping once.
Crush the Kit Kats:
Food Processor: Pulse Kit Kats until finely crushed but with some slightly larger pieces.
Manual: Place Kit Kats in a sturdy plastic bag. Crush with a rolling pin or mallet, leaving some varied pieces.
Drain and Coat:
Remove freshly fried churros from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still slightly warm, roll in the crushed Kit Kat mixture, coating evenly.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy as a delightful twist on the classic churro. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture. Consider dipping in a white chocolate sauce for an extra layer of decadence.

Storage Guidance: Kit Kat Churros are best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two.

Recipe Notes:

Kit Kat Amount: Adjust the amount of Kit Kat used to create the desired level of sweetness and crunch.
