If you've ever had a Churro Funnel Cake from Disneyland, you know why it's a favorite treat! It's made from deep fried funnel cake, coated in cinnamon sugar, drizzled with caramel sauce, and topped with whipped cream.
It's one of our favorite treats to pick up at the Happiest Place on Earth – Churro Toffee! These toffee squares are dipped in white chocolate and covered in cinnamon and sugar.

For my daughter’s high school Spanish class, she had to make a Mexican recipe to bring in, she chose this. The recipe was easy for her to follow and turned out amazing.
Some are a spin on the Mexican dessert flavors (like the churro popcorn and toffee), but many are based on traditional Mexican desserts, like Flan, Tres Leches Cake, Fried Ice Cream, etc. Hope you will give some a try!
