I'm constantly looking for the best tasting pain au chocolat - or chocolate croissants! Every time I see one, I can't resist getting one - it doesn't matter if I'm not hungry, in an airport, or in a rush. The best ones I've had by far have been from Europe. But, over spring break in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, those European croissants got a run for their money. A local bakery, Chocolate Soup, makes a chocolate croissant that's light but chewy. The flavors were well-balanced between butter and chocolate. Don't they just look beautiful too? I was sad to find this treat on the last day, otherwise I would have been there every morning before hitting the slopes. Leave a comment if you have a recommendation for other chocolate croissants I should try!
Overall, it was a good senior year spring break spent skiing and road tripping across the Midwest. Along the way, I added 4 states (Kansas, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Iowa) to my list of visited U.S. states, giving me a grand total of 30!
