These Baked Churros with Chocolate Sauce are made with refrigerated crescent dinner rolls.

So pretty simple to make. If you have kids, get them in the kitchen to help create dessert!

I know when my kids were younger they really enjoyed helping to make dessert.

The chocolate sauce is a Mexican sauce that has cayenne and cinnamon.

You can always leave out the cayenne pepper and cinnamon if you don’t like the kick.
