Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2-3/4 cups flour, divided
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 Tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. lukewarm water, divided
15 KRAFT Caramels
1 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/2 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
1/2 tsp. ground Mexican cinnamon (canela)
2 cups oil

Steps:

  • Reserve 2 Tbsp. flour. Combine remaining flour with 1 Tbsp. sugar, baking powder and salt on clean work surface; make 10-inch well in center. Whisk egg, butter and 3/4 cup water until blended. Pour small amount into center of flour mixture; knead until blended. Gradually add remaining egg mixture, kneading after each addition until blended. Continue to knead dough until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 12 pieces; roll each into ball. Place in large bowl; cover with damp towel. Let stand 30 min.
  • Microwave caramels and remaining water in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until caramels are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 30 sec. Repeat in separate microwaveable bowl with chocolate and COOL WHIP. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon.
  • Heat oil in large deep skillet to 375ºF. Meanwhile, re-moisten kitchen towel; squeeze out excess water. Place towel on work surface, then place 1-1/2-qt. round casserole on center of towel. Bring short ends of towel together over bowl, then tie together. Turn casserole upside down. Place 1 ball of dough on lightly floured surface; roll into 4-inch round. Place dough on covered casserole; use hands to carefully stretch dough (over bowl) to 8-inch round.
  • Add dough round to hot oil; cook 2 min. or until golden brown on both sides, turning and carefully pressing dough into oil with slotted spoon after 1 min. Remove buñuelo from oil; drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle both sides with some of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining dough rounds.
  • Serve buñuelos with caramel and chocolate sauces.
