Ingredients

2/3 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup water
1/3 cup butter
1 cup flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups oil
1 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
20 KRAFT Caramels
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (Do not thaw.)

Steps:

Mix 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in shallow bowl until blended. Reserve for later use.
Bring water, butter and remaining sugar to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Add flour; cook and stir on low heat 1 min. or until mixture pulls away from side of pan. Remove from heat. Add eggs; beat until blended. Stir in vanilla. Spoon into pastry bag fitted with large star tip.

Remove from oil with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Add warm churros, 1 at a time, to reserved cinnamon sugar; toss to evenly coat.
Microwave chocolate, caramels and COOL WHIP in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until chocolate and caramels are completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring after each minute. Serve with warm churros.
