Texas is deep-frying Nutella.

Texas State Fair Presents Deep-Fried Nutella
By Laura Northrup August 28, 2013

Well, it’s state and county fair season, which can only mean one thing. This is America, darn it, and there is nothing in this great nation that we aren’t able to fry. This summer, word out of Texas is that deep-fried Nutella is the new hotness. Nutella?

Of course, no one is throwing globs of chocolate-hazelnut spread in boiling oil and calling it a day. Like the battering and frying of soft drinks, beer, or butter, the Nutella needs a doughy container.
The spread is whipped with cream cheese, presumably to boost the cholesterol content, and spread on phyllo dough. Rolled-up sheets go into the fryer, and the whole thing gets topped with honey and almonds.

Maybe chocolate isn’t your style. How about the Texas Fireball, which is a fried ball of pimiento cheese, pickles, cayenne pepper, and bacon served with chipotle (not Chipotle) sauce. If you want something more festive and seasonally inappropriate, try the fried Thanksgiving Dinner. That’s a ball of turkey and stuffing that’s rolled in corn meal before going in the fryer, and is served with gravy.

These delicacies are part of an annual contest to find the most wonderful fried food in the state. Last year’s winner was a fried bacon cinnamon roll. Of course. Bacon.

Ew

**Cheesecat**

That sounds revolting.

I'm noticing that once a year there's news out of Texas about someone deep-frying something or other.

**xole**

That only makes me more depressed. You promised me a light to end the darkness. Well...I only have one choice left.

The only defense I have left against a world gone mad

**Jehan-reznor**

What no Bacon on it?

Must be the state fair. They'd deep fry a baby if someone asked them to there. Once you hit deep fried ice cream and dee fried root beer you've pretty much run the board already.

**SilverMK2**

I didn't know that Scottish people could withstand Texas sunshine...

**Kilkrazy**

How about deep fried batter? You can often get it as a garnish to your fish and chips in the UK.

**d-usa**

There is an awesome King of the Hill episode about deep frying stuff.

**Easy E**

We deep fried some cake once.. I personally was not impressed.

**marv335**

I don't see the problem.
Of course I am from Central Scotland....

Oh man, I love Kittenblock. Best plugin ever. I don't care much for the site though since they changed the format.

Food like this remind me of the cronut burger at the CNE this year. Pulled from sale because people were getting sick.

It was 7000 calories - deep fried pastry as buns, bacon, maple syrup bbq sauce, etc.

People will eat crazy things.

**Ouze**

Man, Nutella is delicious, I would try this in a heartbeat.

I think I'm going to go make myself a Nutella sandwich right now.

Decadence!!!!

**Ouze**

I am intrigued by your ideas.

**rubiksnoob**

Why the actual FETH would you ruin something as good as nutella by deep frying it? This makes me angry at humanity.

**Frazzled**

It's because there's an annual deep-frying contest.

I love seeing what crazy stuff they come up with.

Nutella is best on a crepe with either bananas or cherries...but not both. No, don't even think about it!

Where vegemite is a disgusting salty mess of grossness and bile, nutella is a slightly chocolatey hazelnut spread made of hope and love.

If you've ever had a Ferer Roche candy, the inside of the original variety is, I believe, made of nutella.

**Frazzled**

I have not unfortunately. I should try it.

You are correct, and that is why they are incredible.

You had a post a few months ago about possibly giving it to one of your dogs, don't do that, but do give it to yourself, gak's like crack!

I'll see your Ferrero Rocher and raise you one warm Nutella crepe with sliced bananas and a bit of powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

Alf, cease and desist on the hinktay boutay repescay ithway othbay!

**Alfndrate**

o-nay

**xole**

Has anyone had hicken fried bacon? I've been thinking about trying that.

**Monster Rain**

It would have to be pretty spectacular to beat tempura bacon.
