With the Oscars less than a week away, I wanted to share my favorite little treat to enjoy while watching the star-studded event – Cinnamon Sugar Stars and Chocolate Dipping Sauce! They’re similar to churros if you have ever had them, they’re ready in minutes, and oh so delicious. They’re the perfect star-shaped food to serve to guests to enjoy while watching the award show. I love party recipes that are also cute and these stars? The perfect treat for the Oscars!
I also love the “individual treat” idea I’ve picture below with mini martini glasses filled with the chocolate sauce served with a plate of the cinnamon sugar stars. Or serve a larger dish of the chocolate sauce for everyone to share. The chocolate dipping sauce has cinnamon in it which gives it a little extra “something” that I just love. You can even add a little heat with 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust recipe or store bought homemade recipe here
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/8 cup cinnamon
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
- 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Roll out chilled pie crust and brush with butter.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
- Use a star-shaped cutter to cut out stars and place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes or until lightly golden.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and cinnamon until just before boiling. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips.
- Serve cooled stars with chocolate dipping sauce!
Hi, Courtney! I have enjoyed receiving your blog for some time now! For the last couple of months, I can no longer view any photos in your daily blog email notifications. I have to click thru to your site before I am able to view any photos. I use Apple products and I wanted to ask if there is any special setting that I need to modify in order to view photos in your emails again? Thank you!
Hi Kay! Thanks for your note! I am off to go research this now, so sorry about that!
These stars with a side of chocolate looks divine, my friend! They are so cute, yet so creative and classy for an Oscar party…or any party for that matter! (Or just for me!) Love!
Thank you, Robyn!!
