<p>DH and I went to the Texas State Fair on Friday, and somehow we managed to abstain, though I did have a corny dog and a bite of “fried butter.” :o</p>
<p>There is a bakery near Austin, Tx which makes an apple pie to die for. Rather than saturating it with so much sugar as most bakeries do, there is very little sugar in it, so you just get the joy of the apples and the great crust. It’s the best, so much better than commercial products, though not necessarily healthy.</p>
<p>Glad i’ve found my fellow Ice Cube fans here!</p>
<p>Any Cadbury milk chocolate from the UK also gets my vote.</p>
<p>Well, never let it be said that I have no imagination.</p>
<p>Once, while having a serious need for chocolate, I took salted almonds and dipped them in Nutella. Oh my, that was good. </p>
<p>Of course, one can also just cream together some butter and brown sugar and eat that to be happy. At least, I can. </p>
<p>I was introduced to Svenhard’s Horns a Plenty when I started dating DH. What a sugar rush.<br>
I ate Twinkies as a child but it wasn’t my favorite. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, I do, @VeryHappy. It was in the toe of every Christmas stocking I ever had growing up.</p>
<p>A bite of fried butter? Can I ask what that would taste like or how the texture is?? Is the butter frozen first? What kind of serving size is it and how DO they serve it - on a stick!!!</p>
<p>I never knew about PF Turnovers till I started dating my husband. They were a staple in his mom’s freezer. My own mom would have never bought them- she would always bake from scratch. </p>

<p>LOL, I have always been grossed out at the concept, and I’ve been hearing about this for years since it won some big award a few years ago at the Texas State Fair.</p>
<p>Okay, it looked like donut holes (and each one was that size) or mini beignets (there are four to an order) and each one has a drizzle of honey on it. It tasted like a mini fried beignet, too. The butter is in the center of the dough, I guess, and not really obvious to me if I didn’t know I was eating “fried butter.” It was quite tasty, very much like a beignet or donut hole without the glazing. People had told me it was really a fried biscuit, but to me it was like a beignet.</p>
<p>Here is a picture of exactly what it looked like, minus the powdered sugar and with the addition of a drizzle of honey.</p>

<p>Okay, I found some actual photos of the award winning fried butter at the State Fair of Texas. I think I described it pretty well:</p>

<p>Sort of the Chicken Kiev of the dessert world.</p>
<p>Wow, must say those look amazing Nrdsb4! </p>
<p>So I went grocery shopping today. I arrived at the store. Got a shopping cart and in less than 2 minutes, I was finished with my grocery list.</p>
<p>Bought 2 King Size Milky Way candy bars and I was out of there.</p>
<p>^^^ LOL!!</p>
<p>Whadya need the cart for?</p>
<p>@VeryHappy </p>
<p>I had no choice but to get a shopping cart. Grocery shopping is serious business and I am a serious grocery shopper.</p>
<p>OMG…a whole box of twinkies is $2.50 at Big Lots. I think I need to go there!</p>
<p>Start my day off with a healthy breakfast: A big bowl of Malt-O-Meal…then for deserve, I finished the 2nd Milky Way candy bar.</p>
<p>I am committed to a well balanced diet. Don’t judge me.</p>
