Oreo Churro Bites with Nutella Dip – The Ultimate Crispy, Chocolatey Treat
Churros are already one of the best desserts on the planet—crispy, golden, and covered in cinnamon sugar. But what happens when you take them to the next level with crushed Oreos and dip them in warm, melty Nutella? You get Oreo Churro Bites, aka the most addictive thing you’ll ever make.
These little beauties are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with Oreo flavor. Plus, they’re bite-sized, which means you can eat way more than you probably should (but who’s counting?).
Let’s get frying.

How to Make Oreo Churro Bites
Step 1: Make the Oreo Churro Dough
- Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by smashing them in a ziplock bag.
- In a saucepan, heat water, butter, brown sugar, and salt over medium heat until it boils.
- Reduce heat and stir in the flour and Oreo crumbs all at once. Stir like crazy until it forms a dough ball.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Mix in vanilla and egg, stirring until smooth. It will look weird at first—keep stirring!
Step 2: Pipe & Fry
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (for that classic churro shape).
- Pipe small 2-inch strips into the hot oil, using scissors to cut them off.
- Fry until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
Step 3: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Toss the warm churros in the mixture until fully coated.
Step 4: Make the Nutella Dip
- Heat Nutella and heavy cream in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until smooth.
- Stir well and try not to eat it straight from the bowl.
Step 5: Eat & Enjoy
- Dip those crispy Oreo churro bites into the warm Nutella.
- Try not to finish the whole batch in one sitting. Or do—no judgment.
How to Customize These Churros
🔥 Want them extra Oreo-y? – Drizzle melted white chocolate and sprinkle crushed Oreos on top.
🔥 Make them filled. – Pipe Nutella or peanut butter inside using a small pastry tip.
🔥 Go chocolate crazy. – Dip them in melted chocolate instead of cinnamon sugar.
🔥 Make them into sticks. – Instead of bites, pipe longer churros and fry as usual.
🔥 Spice it up. – Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon sugar for a sweet-heat combo.
FAQs – Because You’re Probably Wondering…
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
They’re best fresh, but you can fry them a few hours ahead and reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
2. Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 18-20 minutes until crispy. They won’t be as crunchy as fried, but still delicious!
3. What if I don’t have a piping bag?
You can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. No star tip? No problem—they’ll just be smooth instead of ridged.
4. Can I use different cookies instead of Oreos?
Yes! Try Biscoff cookies, chocolate graham crackers, or even brownie brittle.
5. How do I keep them crispy?
Let them cool on a wire rack instead of stacking them—it keeps them from getting soggy.
6. Can I freeze the dough?
Yep! Pipe the dough onto a tray and freeze. When ready to fry, fry straight from frozen—no need to thaw!
