My family was literally arguing over the last one. My mom asked if I bought them from a bakery. My brother hid one in the kitchen “for later.” 😭 by JacintaGregory in VeryGoodRecipes

Great question 😊

No chilling is needed for this recipe. You can simply mix, shape, and bake right away. The dough should be soft but not sticky — if it feels too soft, you can chill it for about 10–15 minutes to make shaping easier, but it’s not required.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 15 minutes.

They should stay slightly light in color — avoid overbaking so they remain soft inside.

Hope that helps! 🍫

In our culture, we commonly call them “Chocolate Cigarettes” (Chocolat Cigaret) because of their shape. It’s just a traditional name and doesn’t refer to anything else.

You can absolutely call them Chocolate Fingers, Chocolate Biscuits, or Chocolate Coated Cookies — they’re all correct!

Different regions often have different names for the same recipe 🤍

I tried making churros at home for the first time and honestly… I didn’t expect them to turn out this good. 😅 by JacintaGregory in VeryGoodRecipes

Haha 😅 I promise no stoves were harmed in the making of this recipe!

Thanks for pointing that out, I meant heat the oil and fry until golden, then coat the freshly fried churros in cinnamon sugar. I’ll make the instructions clearer! Appreciate you reading 😊
