Ingredients for Churro Dip
- Grands refrigerated biscuits
- Melted butter
- Cinnamon sugar (make your own using the ratio of 1/2 cup sugar to 2 tablespoons cinnamon)
- Chocolate hazelnut spread
- *Optional – give it a little sweet & spicy kick and add a dash of cayenne pepper
How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Churro Dip
Start by setting your oven to 350° and greasing a 10″ cast iron or oven-safe skillet.
Then, cut each biscuit into fourths (I used sharp kitchen shears for this) and roll into balls. Coat each dough ball in butter and cinnamon sugar. Next, place each biscuit piece in the skillet, forming a ring around and working inward, ensuring the dough balls touch.
If you're using the cayenne pepper, stir 1/8 teaspoon into the hazelnut dip. (Note: this is totally up to your family's preference but it does take the flavor up a notch!) Spoon then entire jar of hazelnut spread into the center of the biscuits and smooth.
Bake until the biscuits are golden and cooked, about 25 minutes.
Let stand about 10 minutes before serving warm. You can use a spoon and small plates but I found that my family couldn't get enough and just sat around the skillet and dipped!

Hi there PPP Team!
I have been trying to pin this recipe to Pinterest and it won’t save for me. I have been able to save other recipes from PPP, but this one won’t save. I noticed it only had 11 pins, so maybe I’m not the only one having this problem?
