Disneyland is the churro capital of the world! There’s one thing you can count on when you visit Disneyland, and that’s lots and lots of churro flavors. My last trip to Disneyland I was on a mission to try as many Disneyland Churros as possible. My plan was to recreate them at home for my Fiesta Party Churro Bar. Can’t make it to the parks this year? It’s okay….I’ve got you covered.

Follow along as I create some of the most popular churros The Disneyland Parks has to offer, show you how to take those churro recipes, and create a CHURRO BAR!

My Favorite Party Churros To Use For a Churro Bar

J and J Snack Tio Pepes Regular Churro (not an affiliate link): I ordered a box of 100 churros from Amazon. The box came packaged with dry ice and ice packs. When the churros arrived they were still frozen. I separated them into jumbo 2.5 gallon zip top bags and put them in the freezer until I needed them for the party. The churros were perfectly shaped and delicious. TO HEAT CHURROS: Line baking sheets with parchment, preheat oven to 375°, and bake 8-10 minutes.

How to Keep Churros Warm

SLOW COOKER: Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a slow cooker, add churros, place another piece of parchment paper on top of the churros (this will catch the moisture droplets from the lid). Repeat layers as needed. While this technique does keep the churro warm I found it also made them a bit soft.

WARM OVEN: Once the churros have been baked, turn the oven off and leave any extra churros in the warm oven. DO NOT COVER this will create moisture. BEFORE the oven becomes cold, turn the heat to warm.

Let’s start with the most random churro of the lot. As I said above I was on a mission to try all the Disneyland churros even the ones that sounded off. This was at the top of that list.
