The top three new fair foods for the 2025 Iowa State Fair have been revealed.
The Scotcheroo Shake from Over The Top, Three Little Pigs from Whatcha Smokin? Bar-B-Que, and the Bacon Chicken Ranch Egg Roll from Winn & Sara's Kitchen are the three.finalists this year.
Here's more details on each of the top three new fair foods from the Iowa State Fair Website:
Scotcheroo Shake
A rich, creamy shake made with our handmade scotcheroo ice cream – peanut butter and butterscotch ice cream swirled with gooey scotcheroo fudge and packed with chewy chunks of the classic Midwest treat. It's crowned with fluffy whipped cream, generous drizzles of chocolate and caramel and a full slice of scotcheroo on top. A nostalgic dessert reimagined as the ultimate Fair shake.
Three Little Pigs
Oak-kissed smoked ham balls served as a trio flight of nostalgic flavors. First is a savory and sweet honey and mustard-glazed ham ball topped with cornbread crumbles, reminiscent of a tried and true corn dog. Next is a tangy cherry soda glaze with Maraschino cherries to give it the old-timey feel. The third ham ball has a buttery vanilla glaze dusted with powdered sugar, bringing a sweet contrast that plays on the classic Fair treat.
Bacon Chicken Ranch Egg Roll
Bacon Chicken Ranch Eggroll: Experience the savory delight of Winn and Sara’s handmade Chicken Bacon Ranch Eggroll, made fresh just for the Iowa State Fair. Each eggroll is lovingly wrapped by hand, filled with tender chicken, crispy bacon and rich white cheddar cheese. A perfectly golden, crunchy exterior drizzled with Winn and Sara’s famous homemade ranch dressing. Every bite is a delightful combination of cheesy, savory goodness wrapped in a crispy, flaky shell.
The 2025 Fair runs from August 7th to the 17th. You can read more about these, and other new fair foods coming to the Iowa State Fair on their website.
