I think pretty much everything is deep-fried at the Minnesota STate fair. And if it's not deep-fried it's on a stick. Well, probably not everything but it sure does feel like nearly everything! Our fair inspired recipe today are cheesecake roll-ups. These are super ooey and gooey so not something you can eat with your fingers, you'll definitely want a fork. But they are so indulgent and sweet! Definitely something you would indulge in at the fair. To make a batch of these Cheesecake Roll-Ups ...

State Fair Banana Foster Wontons
Every year when we go to the Minnesota State Fair we search out the new foods. It's a tradition for our family. Well, when Peyton was younger, probably 4, she was still in a stroller so I know she was pretty little, LeAnn Chins was at the Minnesota State Fair. They are one of my favorite casual fast food places in the twin cities. Well, this year they were doing the Great Minnesota Get Together and brought their famous wontons and they had Banana Foster Wontons too! I could not wait to try ...
State Fair Chocolate Dipped Bananas
One of the best things about the Minnesota State Fair is the large variety of food. There are so many options! You can literally find almost anything and everything at the fair.

Today, I'm making those beloved chocolate-dipped bananas but adding some crushed toffee bits to it. The crunch from the toffee is going to ...
State Fair Classic Milk Chocolate Fudge
One of our must-stops, when we visit the Minnesota State Fair, is the fudge booth. We always have to stop and get a sample or two and then buy a few pounds to bring home with us.

So, today we are sharing a classic milk chocolate fudge recipe that we would normally find at our favorite fudge booth at the Minnesota State Fair. To make a batch of State Fair Classic Milk Chocolate Fudge you will ...
State Fair Giant Marshmallow Trix Treats
Our last giant marshmallow treat was such a hit I decided to make another one. This time, Peyton and I headed to the grocery store and looked for a fun cereal to use. And we came home with........Trix Trolls World Tour with Marshmallows cereal! Trolls World Tour was a big deal in our home when it came out. I think Peyton watched it over a dozen times the first weekend. So we decided we wanted to try this cereal and turn it into a giant marshmallow treat! To make these at home you will need ...
State Fair Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fudge
Fudge is a treat I usually only indulge in a couple of times of the year. The Minnesota State Fair is one of those times. I'll buy a sample box with 5 different flavors and savors it for a few weeks. But with no Minnesota State Fair this year, only a drive-thru fair that does not include fudge and very limited travel for Peyton and myself we have not bought any fudge! So this year, I'm making some! This fudge is not as dense as most fudge I usually buy, it's a lighter fudge, very creamy. If ...
