Dark chocolate provides antioxidants and a richer taste.

In a large saucepan, add the water, butter, sugar, and salt.

Whisk together and raise the heat to medium-high heat.

Allow the mixture to reach a rolling boil, then immediately remove from heat.

Add all the flour at once and stir well until incorporated.

Return the pan to heat and cook the batter for 30 seconds.

Place the dough into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment.

While running the mixer at medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides after each addition.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth and shiny.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or deep dish pan to medium-high heat.

Pipe a 6-inch long churro into the hot oil and fry for 90 seconds to 2 minutes until golden brown.

Remove churros using a skimmer or tongs and drain on paper towels.

Toss churros in the cinnamon sugar coating and serve with chocolate sauce.
