In a medium saucepan, combine the water and margarine. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the margarine melts completely and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Once boiling, immediately add the all-purpose flour and salt all at once. Stir vigorously with a whisk or sturdy spatula until a smooth dough forms and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan. Continue stirring for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out some of the moisture from the dough.

Remove the dough from the heat and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Allow the dough to cool slightly for a few minutes, until it is still warm but not hot to the touch.

Once the dough has cooled, add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract. Continue mixing with a spatula or spoon until the eggs are fully incorporated and the dough is smooth, thick, and slightly sticky.

Transfer the prepared churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.

Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 300°F. Ensure there is enough oil for the churros to be submerged.

Carefully pipe small, bite-sized pieces of the dough directly into the hot oil, using kitchen scissors to cut the dough from the piping bag to create individual churro bites. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

Fry the churro bites, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This usually takes 3 to 5 minutes per batch.

Once golden, remove the churros from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a tray lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

While the churros are still warm, transfer them to a shallow dish or container filled with cinnamon sugar. Gently toss or roll the churros in the cinnamon sugar until they are evenly coated.

Serve the crispy churros bites immediately with a side of melted chocolate for dipping.
