Below is just a small sample of some of the tasty treats you’ll get to enjoy this year at the Knotts Berry Farm Taste of Falloween
First, to quench your thirst you’ll want to head straight to Calico Saloon to try the new Pumpkin Hard Cider. This cider was slightly sweet with a pleasant taste of fall spices. You can also still get the Mango Cider at barn area.
Next, be sure to stop by Sutter’s Grill to try their Open Face Reuben Sandwich and Pastrami Tater Tots. The Open Face Reuben grill is served with hot pastrami on thick rye bread with swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. The Pastrami Tater Tots come with hot pastrami, diced garlic pickles, and mornay cheese sauce over tater tots with a drizzle of boysenberry mustard. The perfect drink to enjoy with your meal is the Boysenberryberry Sangria or Mango Cider!
Then, I never go to a Knotts food festival without getting their delicious Elote. For Taste of Falloween, their special Corn on the Cob is topped with butter, mayo, and taki crumbles. Taki is a spicy Mexican potato chip that was such a clever combination. This delicious and quick bite can be found at the Fireman’s BBQ.
When you’re ready for dessert I highly recommend my personal favorite, The Ghoulish Pumpkin Bun. This deep-fried cinnamon roll with pumpkin icing and sprinkles was amazing and oh so naughty. As if a giant cinnamon bun isn’t delicious on it’s own, having one deep-fried take it to a whole new level. You’ll find this at Sutter’s.
Also at Sutter’s is the popular Graveyard Funnel Cake. If you love chocolate and Korea cookies then this dessert is for you. The Graveyard Funnel Cake features a chocolate and vanilla funnel cake with oreo dirt crumbles, chocolate ice cream, chocolate drizzle, and creepy candy worms.
