A week after the blast we still want to reminisce about some of the side show treats.
Sometimes you just need something sweet. After a day of tasting chili at the Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Fest it was time to try out the other options. I started with mini donuts from Jake’s Donuts. Yummy! They make them to order! Jake’s mom poured in the batter and little donuts dropped into the frying. Soon they were sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon! The little donuts melted as I popped them into my mouth.
Who can pass up the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory? The carmel apples looked so good and I figured I need a little fruit. I tried the carmel apple which was also dipped in chocolate and cinnamon and sugar. Wow! It was so rich. I could only eat half and took the rest home. The next day I headed back to the Chocolate Factory and bought a pretzle dipped in chocolate with mini m&ms sprinkled on top. Wow! Who would have thought a chocolate dipped preztle has the perfect ratio of salty and sweet? I could have eaten a couple of those.
I couldn’t stop with the pretzels, I had to move to the booth next to it and grab some popcorn and candied pecans. I love candied nuts and ate half the bag right there! Every festival the nut guys seem to be there. I always look forward to buying a couple bags of candied nuts.
Normally I wouldn’t buy so many sweets but hey I was a bit tipsy and everything looked so good. I didn’t want to wait until the next Snowmass Chili Pepper & Brew Fest!
