This is a brand-new product; see Trader Joe's description of it here. They're just deep-fried dough with a packet of cinnamon sugar to be added by the user after the churros have been heated.
I've never had churros before, though I've had plenty of other similar pastries consisting of fried dough with cinnamon sugar, usually under the name of "elephant's ears." But the shape of these churros isn't flat and thin like those, so the center is soft rather than crisp. I thought that worked to their detriment.
At first I thought the suggested serving of 10 was excessive, but it turned out to be just right. They're small; each one is less than two bites.
They seemed a little undercooked with the recommended 6-7 minutes at 425 degrees. For the next batch, I'm going to try 9-10 minutes and see what happens.
The enclosed package of cinnamon sugar badly needs a resealable closure, like the main bag has.
Overall, pretty good, but not great.
Will I buy it again?
I don't think so.
