Serve the churro bites warm in a bowl with a side of Nutella for dipping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave as needed. Tips: Don't skip the cooling time, fry in batches, and use a candy thermometer for perfect frying temperature.
