Battered Cookie Creations

The Deep-Fried Oreos are Meant to Give You a Taste of the State Fair

The latest development in elaborate cookie creations boasts an Oreo that "harnesses the carnival spirit" with a battered and crunchy texture. The new line by the beloved dessert brand is meant to bring a staple menu item from the State Fair to the consumer's home.

The cookie creation is released in two flavors — 'Chocolate Crunch' and 'Vanilla Crunch.' The recipe cleverly builds on the excitement, generated by American carnivals. As a result, the Oreo 'State Fair' is bound to be a success not only due to the popularity of the brand. The deep-fried-tasting cookie creations are also hard not to love because of their strong ties to the good-old fashion family-friendly festival fun.
