(MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo.) — Mardi Gras has officially arrived, which means it’s time for beignets! Rocky Mountain Beignets can satisfy your Fat Tuesday cravings even if you’re not in New Orleans. Indulging in treats is one of the best parts of the festivities, and FOX21 Lifestyle Reporter Krista Witiak fried up some dough of her own to celebrate with the cafe!

Beignets are a French pastry fried and covered in powdered sugar. Rocky Mountain Beignets makes its dough daily in Manitou Springs, allowing it to rise overnight. The owners spent months honing the recipe since making beignets at Colorado’s high altitude can be challenging. Regardless, they succeeded in creating a sweet treat that will leave you wanting more!

You can get your beignets at Rocky Mountain Beignets’ location, 724 Manitou Ave. Visit rockymountainbeignets.com for more information.
