Churros with Strawberry Dipping Sauce

Blend strawberries and drink mix in blender until pureed. Strain into bowl to remove seeds; set aside. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl until blended.

Bring water, remaining sugar and butter 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.

Heat oil in deep fryer to 350ºF. Pipe dough, in batches, into 5-inch strips into hot oil. Cook 3 min. or until each churro is golden brown on both sides, turning after 1 min. Remove from oil with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Add warm churros, 1 at a time, to cinnamon mixture; toss to evenly coat.

Serve churros with the strawberry sauce.
