Ahh the state fair I automatically think of deep fried foods, cotton candy, and amusement rides. Not really a place teaming with gluten free options, but surprisingly I was able to find some goodies to nosh on!

Of course being the popcorn fanatic that I am I had to buy some
caramel kettle corn from a food vendor called Dynamite Kettle Corn. Definitely DELICIOUS!
The popcorn was super buttery with just a hint of the burnt caramelized sugar crunch that
I look for in good caramel corn. Nom nom nom!

Next up were the nachos that I shared with my friends. Normally I
am not a nacho kinda person, in fact I actually don’t like nachos. The
artificial cheese goop that is slathered over perfectly tasty tortilla chips
makes them all soggy and yuckyL. But there are ALWAYS exceptions.
Surprisingly I munched on a few of my friends’ nachos and I could not stop. I
think the added jalapeños cut through the fake cheese sauce which made it all
the more addicting. LOL

Always order with Jalapenos! |
We always save the best for last right?! I treated myself to a
gourmet caramel apple. To be exact it was the Salted Caramel Apple from the DeBrito Chocolate Factory: Home of the
Outrageous Caramel Apples.
