With the weather getting hotter, and the skirts/shorts/dresses getting shorter, I want to tempt you all with these will cinnamon sugar balls of glory: Bunuelos with a Spicy Chocolate Sauce. That’s right, I know its swimsuit season, and wedding season. All seasons where us girls need to be looking good. I just can’t bring myself to care about those things, because these little fried sweet fritters are rad. They are lighter than regular doughnuts and just as delicious. We have made them with a spicy chocolate dipping sauce because dipping is fun. Hope you guys like em!

Buñuelos I miss them! my mom made them when I was a little kid :)
we in Croatia have these also, and we call it prikle or fritule. Specialy made around any holiday, but lately you can buy it on a street all around year. :) love them, reminds me of my childhood :)
Oh my. There is just no way for me to diet when I have blogs like yours to read. I think perhaps these are going to be made tomorrow although I’m a little scared ’cause I have never fried anything. I think I could probably make this in a deepish-pot on the stove yeah?
I will probably never get a chance to go to Buenos Aires and dance tango…but at least I can eat like I’m there! Thank you!
Dear Teri,
Love your website. Love your photography. Love the recipes…simple and yummy. As for this recipe, I was wonder if I should prepare the batter overnight and fried it in the morning. Thk you.
Hi Elaine, you can allow the batter to sit overnight (with similar results), although I’ve gotten the best results with the batter sitting for only 15-30 minutes (max)
Oh boy! What a treat!
I’m so completely intrigued by the chili powder here. I recently had fantastic results with doughnuts, so I’m definitely up for Bunuelos. Thanks for sharing!
I love how all of your recipe choices are so international…
Thanks for posting; these look great! I’m used to having Columbian bunuelos made with cheese – so addicting!
These look incredibly delicious. I’ve made churros with spicy hot chocolate sauce but I love the idea of these little round balls.
Ay Carramba! those look sooooo delish with the spicy chocolate sauce ~~~~~Irresistible *!*
Looks so delicious! I would love to try some.
All I can think about is having these with a cup of coffee right now…thank god I don’t have most of the ingredients or else I’d be rabid. Believe it
Wow!! I’m argentinian and I can’t believe to see these kind of recipes here! I’m so glad!
We have a great recipes for asado, buñuelos, locro, empanadas, milanesas, etc, etc,. I recommend everybody to investigate some argentine cuisine, you will be amazed =).
Please feel free to ask me if you want to know some more!
Best regards from Buenos Aires!
I found this post via Pinterest and I am going to re-pin it (ensuring to your credit, of course!), print it out, shop for the ingredients I don’t have and make them with the kidlets this Saturday! Though, I’ll have to make two dipping sauces because Momma needs to try the spicy chocolate!
These look divine…yum!
Oh boy. It’s like churros and doughnut holes and beignets all got together and had a delicious cinnamon-sugary baby.
Could it get any better? I think not. Obsessed.
Absolutely incredible. Yummm!
Um, completely dying over here.
Looks wonderful and my guess is they taste even better. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I could momentarily forget about my swimsuit issues if i had a plate of these! Save that worry for another day :) YUM
Fried dough AND chocolate? YES. ♥
Have an awesome week!
