ENSTROM CANDIES

rockygems123 — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 18:43:55 GMT

Just heard on our local news here in Denver metro area that Enstrom is breaking ground in Grand Junction for a 50,000 sq ft manufacturing facility. They are already located in Grand Junction, just needed a bigger property.

We have a few Enstrom stores currently throughout Colorado and they said with this new facility there will be more presence in our state. Yay!

Hopefully they'll add some more items to the QVC roster in the future!

Enstrom's toffee is my favorite! We have almost finished our tub that we received earlier this month. I'm thankful I'm on A-D with them!

Only heard of them on this board. Never have ate any. Same with bread pudding. Heard of it on Q. Never ate it either.

@rockygems123. My mother was from Grand Junction. Long before qvc ever heard of it, grandma was sending us Enstrom's for Christmas. It's wonderful but those almonds are hard on my teeth these days so I've quit ordering.

@Nightowlz. Good bread pudding is one of the great joys of life. You must make an effort to try it. It may be my favorite dessert.

@Kachina624 I had caramel apple bread pudding at a local restaurant last week--it was amazingly good!

I can't believe I have never heard anyone mention it. I first heard it from David. I thought bread pudding. What's that?

DH said bread pudding sounds like some soggy bread? I will have to look at some recipes.

There are so many things I have never ate.

@Kachina624

Grand Junction I'm guessing is another beautiful spot in Colorado?

Enstrom does have no nut toffee and even though tender as he says it can still be tricky.

I've cut my sugar consumptiion way down so it's not anything for me this year.

One of my friends here raised in the mid-west has a very limited palate. He only ate plain going up and doesn't like to travel so he has been limited in trying different foods.

We great up in SF with Italian neighbors, lots of Asian restaurants, one parent from the South, the other from the North so we ate everything.

Except lima beans and peas. Ha

@rockygems123. I've cut out most sugar too. I got some nutless toffee last Christmas and really like it.

Grand Junction is strange but is really desert but with several major rivers meeting there (hence the junction). There are beautiful geological attractions including the Bookcliffs and Colorado National Monument of red rock monoliths.

Nearby is Grand Mesa, the largest flat top mountain in the world. It's all forests and lakes, beautiful.

Lots of fruit orchards in the area.

@Kachina624

Wow, thank you for sending the info and pics! Seems like a very interesting place and makes me realize we have a very varied state here in Colorado.

It's only 4 hours from here.

As for not eating a lot of sweets, caved last night and had a slice of Whole Foods Berry Chantilly cake, just amazing.

Increased production of Enstrom toffee definitely sounds good to me! We're halfway through the tub we received a couple of weeks ago (no nuts means evvvveryone loves eating them), so I'll probably be buying another tub in December.

@rockygems123. Yum on the cake.

Grand Junction would make a nice short 3 day vacation. There are so many places in Colorado that would.

This summer hopefully will be one to go somewhere in Colorado a bit further from metro Denver.

This fall was Breckenridge last year was Estes Park. Usually only 2 day trips but I'd love to see more sights.

It's part of my job too with antique / jewelry reconnaissance ha.

I love Enstrom's Toffee and ordered my usual tub on auto-delivery for this year. However, most of my toffees don't have any almonds in them at all, which is so odd. We are almost done with the tub that we received in October and it has been the same throughout. Still delicious, but the mostly missing almonds are a disappointment. Hoping my next shipment is better.
