In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir continuously until the flour is fully incorporated and the dough forms a ball.
Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, add 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Step 3: Fry the Churros
Heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Using a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut off, pipe the churro dough into the hot oil, cutting off pieces about 4 inches long. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove the churros from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 4: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
