We’ve already seen all of the Big Tex Choice Awards finalists that will be offered at the State Fair of Texas this year, but that’s not all the new food and drink being added to the menu!

The State Fair recently put out a list of 33 new foods and drinks available this year, and like most fares introduced by the fair, we want to try them all.

Some of the highlights, per the Dallas Morning News, include:

Deep Fried Texas Oatmeal Pie  An oatmeal cream pie is dipped into sweet and fluffy Dr Pepper flavored pancake batter and fried until golden brown. That’s not all; it is then drizzled with Big Red soda reduction, covered with marshmallow sauce over top and dusted with powdered sugar.

Fried Fireball Shot  The fluffy, airy, melt-in-your-mouth sweetness of angel food cake meets the red-hot and fiery cinnamon flavor of Fireball cinnamon malt liquor. After deep frying to a perfect golden brown, Fireball is poured over the top and into a shot glass.

Fried Texas BBQ Shotgun Shells  Made with slow-smoked, shredded, Texas brisket, melted, gooey Velveeta and cream cheese, seasoned with Meat Church Texas Sugar Rub, then rolled in a pasta sheet, wrapped up in hickory smoked bacon, and rolled in jalapeño breadcrumbs.

Monster Burrito  A Texas-sized tortilla is filled with a savory combination of spicy, jalapeño cheese, jack cheese, spiced rice and black beans. This sharable new food is made to order with your choice of beef, chicken or veggies.

And that’s just the beginning!

The opening day for the State Fair of Texas is a little more than two weeks away on September 29th!
