In honor of their beloved treat, NESTLE CRUNCH®’s 75th birthday – they have asked the top bakeries in the nation to compete in their 75th Birthday Showdown. We are representing the city of Houston in this fan-based competition but we are up against some stiff competition from places like Chicago and Los Angeles. Our Nestlé Crunch Pie is holding its own, but we need your daily vote to keep us in the running!
So you may be wondering how we came up with the yummy idea of the Nestlé Crunch Pie. Well, we must say, we went through more than 35 different test recipes before we came across “the one”. We came up with a few recipes, which were absolutely delicious, however they didn’t photograph as nicely as we’d hoped. People say it’s what’s on the inside that counts but in this competition, looking good is half the battle.
Take if from Bobby, who said, “People eat with their eyes…If it doesn’t look good people aren’t going to eat it. No matter how good it tastes.”
We tried Danish, French pastries, apple pie with Crunch, cookies with chocolate chips and caramel, turnovers and even Crunch cookie bars. It took a long time, and with one experiment we were almost there! We tried a pretzel dough boat with a cinnamon and NESTLE CRUNCH® filling; It tasted incredible, but it wasn’t very pretty. So we kept trying different tasty desserts until we finally created something that looks as good as it tastes. And that, friends, is how we ended up with our delicious Nestlé Crunch Pie as one of fifteen desserts competing for the best in the nation in NESTLE CRUNCH®’s 75th Birthday Showdown!
You’re invited to a sampling and voting event this Friday, April 12 at our Braeswood location from 12-3 pm. We’ll have samples of our Nestlé creation on hand for you to try and computers on site to make the voting process easy as pie! Can’t make it out on Friday? You can still try our Nestlé Crunch Pie at our either of our locations and please continue to vote for us once a day until April 21st!
