Review: Jack in the Box - Mini Churros

Jack in the Box's Mini Churros takes your typical churro, chops it into bite-sized bits and pipes a line of melted, gooey cinnamon sugar through the middle.  A small bag of five churros came out to $1.

They are typically made to order since they're not a high volume sales item.  Mini Churros taste relatively deep-fried; which is to say crispy and a little oily.  The filling really sets them apart from other churros, offering a contrast of texture as the crunchy shell gives way to a semi-liquid flow of sweetness that might be a bit too sweet for some.  I prefer the more standard non-filled churro but Jack in the Box's Mini Churros are pretty interesting and worth a try, if only for a different churro-eating experience.
