1. Cotton Candy Bacon on a stick
It wouldn’t be a state fair without something being served on a stick. At the Texas State Fair this year, fairgoers can try a cotton candy bacon on a stick, which features a 12-inch piece of bacon with a cotton candy glaze. Once cooked, the bacon is spun around a cotton candy machine and then torched to create a caramelized center.
The menu item is currently a finalist for the state fair’s 20th annual Big Tex Choice Awards.
