Reeses Donut, pumpkin spice corn among new fair foods
Pumpkin spice is invading the N.C. State Fair this year with two new dishes containing the popular fall flavor.
Douglas Farms will be serving up roasted pumpkin spice corn. The corn will be dipped in butter and rolled in brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
Old North State Kitchen will be serving up a pumpkin spice hush puppy topped with a pumpkin spice glaze. That isn't the only new hush puppy on the menu this year. The folks at the Ragin Cajun booth are serving a candied apple hush puppy topped with a Cheerwine glaze.
