RubySnap

RubySnap is probably the only cookie maker in Utah who has taken on the largest cookie monster in the world – the Pillsbury Doughboy. After being sued by Pillsbury to change her name, My Dough Girl, or risk getting crushed by a team of lawyers and inferior cookies, Tami Cromar didn’t give up, she re-branded as Ruby and grown her business ever since. RubySnap cookies are made fresh every day from the most pleasurable ingredients such as almonds, white chocolate, Montmorency cherries. Each cookie is represented by a beautiful pin-up girl, but requires less maintenance and produces more pleasure. RubySnap cookies and dough can be purchased at Harmons and Whole Foods, or at her shop at 770 South 300 West.

Sugared Caramel Candy

Sugared Caramel Candy is the sweet concoction of Michelle Wolfe.

More than forty years ago Michelle’s grandmother discovered a unique recipe for homemade caramels from scratch. As a small child, Michelle’s mother learned this recipe and passed it on again to Michelle when she was a girl. Michelle now makes buttery smooth caramel in flavors her grandmother never imagined. And while some things have changed, the most important things have not – the sugar is sweet, the butter is rich, and the cream is as fresh as ever.

Sugar Candied Caramels can be bought the the Sugar House Baking Company at 902 East Logan Ave. in Sugar House.

Hatch Family Chocolates

There are factory-made chocolates, then there are hand-dipped chocolates made fresh by artisans.

Big box stores sell beautiful looking chocolates made in factories, but factories can never emulate the quality, unique blending and fresh taste of hand-dipped chocolates. Kate and Steve Hatch are carrying on a tradition that started four generations ago. Their chocolates are heavenly: the salted caramel and chili pepper truffles are a rich mouthful of holiday cheer.

Hatch Family Chocolates is located at 376 8th Ave.

I am a story teller and journalist. I have a passion for farmers, local craftspeople, and folks who aspire to create, build and grow their business in the local marketplace. Why local? By supporting locally-owned businesses we create more opportunity for entrepreneurs, and we claim our sovereignty to shape our communities how we want to see them. I aspire to build Utah Stories Magazine into a household Utah name, and assist Utah businesses and makers with marketing. On the journalism side of things my passion is investigative journalism that offers true insight into issues. I believe strongly in the forth estate: strong, meaningful, insightful journalism is essential to a free market Democracy.

Better Solutions Than Spending $2 Billion on a Gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon

A challenge to the $2 billion taxpayer funded Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola is in the works. What else could that much money be used for?
Gondola Works was the successful PR and marketing campaign that dazzled UDOT and UTA board members and gained the support of enough Wasatch Front Regional Council members to approve the overall $26 billion plan.

The overriding questions are, Why should we be putting so much energy into a $26 billion plan that only focuses on transporting mostly elite skiers up to our mountains? How does this massive investment help average Utahns?
