13. Spicy Chicken Waffle Cone
Fried chicken & waffles are a pretty iconic American meal. Last year during the holidays, I made the CUTEST (and tastiest) Chicken & Waffle Sliders. They’re one of my most popular appetizer requests and always get picked up first on the food spread.

14. Deep Fried Reese’s Pieces
Dreaming of warmer weather? If you’ve ever been to a summer county fair, you know the food aisles offer an amazing array of deep-fried foods. Many of them come on a stick. I’ve chuckled over the possibility of tasting deep fried peanut butter & jelly, deep fried avocado, twinkies, Mars Bars, and even deep-fried mac-and-cheese.

15. Deep Fried Biscuits & Gravy
I invented these things for Norcross because biscuits-n-gravy is his favorite breakfast ever and I wanted to see if I could make them even better (in his eyes). Also invented as a way to speed up my access to his life insurance policy because, spoiler alert, THESE ARE NOT HEALTHY AT ALL.

Wisconsin is known for cheese, but unless you’ve been there or anywhere in the Upper Midwest, you probably have not had the sinful pleasure of eating fried cheese curds.

17. Apple Pie Fries
These super simple Apple Pie Fries make for a super fun spin on a traditional apple pie. Store-bought pie crust cut into strips, filled with a simple store-bought apple pie filling, then baked for crispiness. You can dip them in caramel sauce or even whipped cream for additional yumminess.
