Food on a Stick #19, Pecan Nut Roll Dipped in Chocolate on a Stick

The Iowa State Fair claimed to have more than 50 Foods on a Stick.  Prior to our trip, I went over the list several times, trying to find foods I could eat that would be both vegetarian and gluten-free.  While there weren’t many, I did manage to find a few.

One stand had several varieties of Nut Rolls, available plain or dipped in chocolate.  I chose the Pecan Nut Roll and of course, had it dipped in chocolate.  It reminded me of the nut logs advertised on Stuckey’s billboards in the 70s.  As a little kid, Stuckey’s fascinated me with their kitschy souvenirs and 99 cent nut logs.  I don’t think I ever tried one, but I imagine they were very similar to the Pecan Nut Roll I had at the fair.

Inside of the nut log was white chewy nougat-y stuff which was rolled in pecans and then dipped in chocolate.  I really love sweets, but this was simply too sweet.  I had just a couple of bites of it.  I tried to pawn it off on John, but he was already about 5 Foods on a Stick into his fair food adventure and politely declined my offer.  It probably wasn’t such a great offer anyway, as the chocolate was starting to drip down my arm and the nuts were falling all over, including on a passerby’s flip flop.
