State Fair Gets Deep-Fried Girl Scout Cookie
DALLAS (AP) - As if the Girl Scouts Samoa cookie isnt sinful enough, a longtime State Fair of Texas treat provider is perfecting a way to improve the chocolate-coconut-caramel cookie for fair goers.
Deep-fry it.
Christi Erpillos family has served deep-fried items at the Dallas fair for 40 years. She says the Samoa is her all-time favorite cookie and shes found a way to drop the classic into a deep fryer without getting it soggy and without losing its taste.
She tells The Dallas Morning News the Samoa embellishment is intended to help the Girl Scouts celebrate their 100th anniversary.
Erpillos mother introduced funnel cake to the fair in the 1980s. In 2009, Erpillo made a splash with deep-fried peaches and cream.
The three-week State Fair of Texas opens Sept. 28.
