Keystone Chocolate Village Revised
Last week I reported on the 10th annual Keystone Chocolate Village being on display at the Keystone resort in Keystone Colorado. I was disappointed when posting that there were no pictures to share. 2500 pounds of chocolate sounds great but it's a little difficult to get a good picture of just how much chocolate that really is. Two different mountain news sources have now released pictures of the village and, more importantly, the press center for Keystone has released video of the village. It really is amazing to look at. There is a chocolate train, chocolate gondolas, mountains - really impressive work. Chef Ned Archibald deserves a lot of credit for this impressive piece of chocolate art.
One last thing: look carefully at the big white christmas tree in the first article and in the video. Remember what I said in my prior posting? It's white chocolate with blown sugar ornaments. And is it ever beautiful.

The 11th annual Chocolate Village is now being constructed, and Keystone is celebrating 36 Days of Chocolate through Dec. 15 when the '06 village is unveiled. I've blogged it on http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com. Glad to see that you caught it last year -- way before I thought of blogging foods and food-related activities.
