These really aren\u2019t bad, but they really aren\u2019t churro flavored either. I had to ask my taste buds to dig down deep to find even a hint of anything resembling churro or cinnamon flavor. The best way I can describe the filling is nondescript sweet, warm goo.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pillsbury-Churro-Toaster-Strudel-Closeup-1.jpg?resize=600%2C470&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pillsbury Churro Toaster Strudel Closeup\" title=\"Pillsbury Churro Toaster Strudel Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"470\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pillsbury-Churro-Toaster-Strudel-Uncooked.jpg?resize=600%2C464&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pillsbury Churro Toaster Strudel Uncooked\" title=\"Pillsbury Churro Toaster Strudel Uncooked.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Looking at the photo on the box, it seemed to show something extra going on with the pastry crust\u2014either cinnamon mixed in or perhaps little flakes of churro pieces. But I couldn\u2019t distinguish anything different about the crust compared to a regular Toaster Strudel. The icing was chocolatey, as promised, with almost a pudding taste rather than a standard chocolate sauce. If someone had given me this without any hint as to the flavor, I\u2019m not sure I would have guessed churro.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>You can get drunk off these! OK, actually you can\u2019t, but they do contain chocolate liquor. Sadly, it\u2019s the very last ingredient listed (after the always delicious locust bean gum), so you are fine to eat a few of these and hop behind the wheel. Just don\u2019t go swimming for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pillsbury-Churro-Toaster-Strudel-Mascot.jpg?resize=300%2C810&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pillsbury Churro Toaster Strudel Mascot\" title=\"Pillsbury Churro Toaster Strudel Mascot.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"300\" height=\"810\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On another completely random subject, if you are ever in San Antonio, you can find some delicious churros in the Market Square, along with what is likely one of the only churro mascots in the world.
