Today I made fritters again, but this time instead of powdered sugar like in the Crunchy Carnival Fritters, I decided to enrich them with melted dark chocolate. Super delicious, you can’t stop at just one. The preparation is very simple, I always use the same recipe for Fritters because it’s fabulous, light, and crispy, and now it’s well-tested. So if you still don’t have a favorite fritter recipe, I gladly share mine.
