Already the #1 fastest growing dessert and #1 mini-dessert, churros are the globally inspired darling of fast food and casual chains alike.
J&J Snack Foods has ramped up its production capabilities to keep up with the high demand for a dessert or snack that has gone from carnivals and theme parks to the mainstream. Operators will have a consistent supply of churros in 2023.
New ¡Hola! Churros® is J&J Snack Foods’ brand. Formerly, the company had marketed both a flour and corn-based churros as California Churros® and Tio Pepe®. The company consolidated them under the ¡Hola! Churros® brand to make ordering easier for operators and distributors. Now, operators can simply order ¡Hola! Churros® as Authentic Spanish Style (flour-based) or Southwest Crispy Style (corn-based). Operators can order churros as loops, bites, or as regular churros. Churros are also available with fruit fillings, and some come with cinnamon sugar for sprinkling already in the case. ¡Hola! Churros® hold times also make them ideal for takeout, delivery, and catering.
