These heart shaped churros have been one of my best performing videos on all platforms, for good reason! They are so cute, quick, and fairly easy to make. Fried goodness dipped in cinnamon sugar….and they’re heart shaped…need I say more? This is a must to try. (Recipe is also on my YouTube @wemobakes 🖤)
