Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Begin by cutting 6 of the Snickers candy bars crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Reserve the last Snickers bar for topping later.
3
Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Arrange 6 Snickers pieces in the center of each tortilla.
4
Carefully fold the tortillas up burrito-style, ensuring the ends are secure by tucking them in. Use toothpicks to hold the ends closed if necessary.
5
Transfer the filled tortillas onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
6
Brush both sides of each chimichanga with the melted butter to help them crisp up during baking.
7
Cover the chimichangas with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps solidify the filling.
8
Once chilled, uncover the chimichangas and bake them in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
9
While baking, chop the remaining Snickers bar into small pieces for topping.
10
Remove chimichangas from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve each warm chimichanga drizzled with chocolate syrup, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream and vanilla ice cream, and finish with chopped Snickers pieces and a maraschino cherry on top.
