| Chocolate puffs Halloween treats are yummy and Don Goyito approves! |
In honor of Halloween, when little children in the USA binge on candy and parents cringe at the thought of the dentist bill, Don Goyito and La Güare developed a special "spooky desert" recipe. We've named them "Chupacabra Tripe" because they do look like pieces of intestine. These fried dough delights are actually a variation of So-Easy Golden Puffs recipe taken from our own New York kitchen bible; the 1963 edition of the Good Housekeeping Cookbook. We added in cocoa powder and cinnamon and they may look like something you'd find floating in a toilet bowl, but they are scrumptious pieces of fried glory that make you feel particularly ghoulish when you eat them.
Give them a try and let us now if you enjoyed eating these odd looking pieces of chocolate fun. Enjoy!
Chocolate "Chupacabra Tripe" Puffs
- 2 cups sifted all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (we used Mexican brown sugar, that is somewhere between brown sugar and white sugar, it is "tan" sugar)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg

| "Chupacabra tripe" looks rather, um, well, gross, but we promise, they are yum-yum GOOD! |
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.With a fork, stir until thoroughly mixed. Fry spoonfuls in hot oil (about 375°F). We let long strands fry up in the hot oil, creating the "tripe" effect. Let them cool and then top with powdered sugar or a cinnamon sugar mix (as seen in picture).
