Trio of Beignets & Holiday Surprise

There's nothing that quite captures the feel good moment between you, a fresh steaming cup of coffee, and a straigh-out-of-the-fryer crispy beignet... Add chocolate, pastry cream, caramelized apples, spiced crumble, lemon glaze, and a loved one to enjoy it all with, and a whole new experience can be created. Hopefully this video will inspire you to whip something up in the kitchen that you can share with your friends and family and enjoy a fun holiday foodie moment that might end up becoming a tradition! I want to give Nespresso a big shoutout for supporting and collaborating with me on this fun video because it's always nice to find a group of folks that love food, coffee, and fried stuff as much I do!!! Plus they're giving me a Nespresso machine to giveaway to one of you foodies!
NESPRESSO GIVEAWAY: In order to enter all you have to do is send me a picture or short video of a fun foodie moment with your friends and family via my Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, and of course LIKE and SHARE this video. If you recreate my beignets in the picture or video, you'll get little extra love. Use my social handle @ByronTalbott when you post and you will be locked in for a brand new spankin Nespresso machine! I'll be announcing a winner before December 21st, so let the holiday food festivities begin!!
