SNICKERS® Chocolate Taco Flautas With Berry Sauce

Because I work out so much, there are times when I just need a boost. Every so often, I don’t even notice how hungry I am until Paula points out that I am in a terrible mood. Today was one of those days, and after satisfying my hunger with a Snickers® Xtreme, I knew I had to make it up to my wife for being in such a grumpy mood all morning. So, I decided to do something special and surprise her with an at-home date night after the kiddos had gone off to bed. Since we had already had dinner, I thought I would make a special dessert.

Let’s face it, there is nothing that does not taste good wrapped in a flour tortilla, and that includes chocolate. So I grabbed two SNICKERS® Almond bars that were just asking to be turned into something amazing and thought, why not chocolate taquitos?

Covered in cinnamon and sugar, these taquitos are crunchy on the outside and filled with gooey melted SNICKERS® Almond goodness in the center. 

The berry sauce complements the sweetness of the chocolate and sugar with a bit of tartness, bringing this dessert together.

These taquitos not only taste sublime but are super easy to make and look so festive they would make the perfect dessert for a special occasion, and they were a total hit with my wife! It’s a good thing, as otherwise my grumpy mood due to hunger would have landed me in the doghouse.

We always have SNICKERS® at home. They are not only a great sweet treat but also the perfect pick-me-up, satisfying snack for those days when you are so busy you skip a meal. Or when you have been working out a lot and just need some energy. I have learned my lesson, and now I keep a SNICKERS® bar on my desk.

My favorite chocolate bars are SNICKERS® Xtreme, filled with different nuts, and Almond Snickers, which is my wife’s favorite. I usually get both when I go to Walmart to shop for the week’s groceries.

 Have you ever gotten in trouble for being in a bad mood because you were hungry?

Ingredients

For the Taquitos

Toggle ingredient group

• 3 cups canola oil, for frying
• 6 medium flour tortillas
• 2 SNICKERS Almond chocolate bars, cut into squares
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Berry Sauce

Toggle ingredient group

• 1 cup ripe strawberries, chopped
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• ½ cup of water
• ¼ cup sugar

To Serve

Toggle ingredient group

• 1 cup whipped cream
• ½ cup fresh berries, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a medium pot to 350°F. It should be deep enough to cover the taquitos while they fry.
2. Cut the SNICKERS bars into squares. Divide the squares evenly and line them up down the center of each tortilla.
3. Roll each tortilla into a tight taquito and push a toothpick through it to hold it closed.
4. Stir the sugar and cinnamon together in a flat dish and set it next to the stove.
5. Fry the taquitos in small batches, about 2 minutes per batch, until crispy and golden brown.
6. While they are still hot, roll each taquito in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated, then remove the toothpick.
7. For the sauce, heat the water in a saucepan, then add the berries and sugar and bring to a boil.
8. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the fruit breaks down into a thick sauce.
9. Take the sauce off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
10. Spoon the berry sauce over the taquitos and top with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Notes

• You'll need 6 toothpicks to hold the taquitos together while frying.
• Fry in small batches so the oil stays at 350°F, and take the toothpicks out before serving.
