Jeremy and I went to the fair this past weekend. We basically had one thing on our agenda while we were there: FRIED OREOS. Ok, so maybe it was more MY agenda but after getting a taste of those delicious fried chocolatey puffs last year, I’d been dreaming about them ever since. And really, what is there to do at the fair besides eat? I mean, you’ve got fried twinkies, funnel cakes, caramel apples, ice cream, fried Oreos, cheesecake wontons, cotton candy, fried peanut butter and jelly, chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick and even fried Kool-Aid! And that’s just the sweet stuff!
So after a little searching, we found the fried Oreos and also decided on a fried PB&J. We grabbed a spot near the karaoke stage to listen to the up-and-coming Springfield musical talent and do a little people watching while we munched down.
First, the fried PB&J. Absolutely NOT good. Jeremy and I both agreed that while in concept the idea is great, it just didn’t work this time. The peanut butter tasted disgusting (perhaps because all I ever eat is natural peanut butter?) and it wasn’t really a peanut butter sandwich, it was one of those Uncrustable things that you get in the freezer section at the grocery store, fried in funnel cake batter. So disappointing. I’ve actually been wanting to purchase a deep fryer for home, so once I do, we are trying this again…with a REAL PB&J sandwich!
Now the fried Oreos on the other hand…absolute. fried. genius. I just love these little things. The Oreo is dunked in funnel cake batter which fries up nice and golden while the Oreo gets soft on the inside. Finished with a touch of powdered sugar, these are Oreo HEAVEN. They are fresh and warm and oh so delicious. My only complaint is that they don’t serve them with milk! Other than that, magic.
