Have I caught your attention yet?
I was SO overwhelmed at the Orange County Fair yesterday. I was there to check on this weeks lemon entries (We won 3rd place this week for best lemons!), when I found myself fascinated by the selection of desserts. From a culinary standpoint, the desserts at the OC Fair are not the classiest, nor the healthiest by any means. However, I have to say, they certainly are creative. Chocolate covered bacon? Deep fried Reese's, Snickers, Oreos, and Twinkies? This trip to the Fair was a quick visit. Next time I may just have to try one of these novelties. But, I'll remember to take it for what it is: A novelty. Last year I tried a deep fried Oreo. Was it incredible? No. But, where else can you get one? Yes! That is why Fair food is so popular! That is why people will let go of their wallet and waistlines! Because, where else can you find chocolate covered bacon?

I'll pass on the chocolate covered bacon, BUT funnel cake? Good thing I don't live near the fair!
Just stumbled upon your blog. Some great inspiration here for the sweet tooth!
I just had to say that the Minnesota State Fair had chocolate covered watermelon at the fair this year. That fair is known probably more than any other state fair for it's unusual food choices - especially the "on a stick" varieties. I was sadly unable to attend this year...
