Owner Charlie Boghosian of Chicken Charlie's who has invented more than 100 original deep-fried items including fried Pop Tarts and Klondike bars, debuted his fried Cherry Kool-Aid doughnut holes at the San Diego County Fair last Friday. More From Delish: Top 10 Most Unusual State Fair Foods To make the sweet concoction Boghosian blends flour, water, and cherry Kool-Aid mix. The batter is scooped and dropped into extremely hot oil then fried until they are lightly browned with a crisp outer layer. They resemble Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins, but with a distinct taste of your childhood. Which is exactly what inspired Boghosian. "We drank Kool-Aid growing up, so I thought, why not fry it and see what happens?" Boghosian told ABC News. More From Delish: Fried-Food Showcase: From the Wonderful to the Weird At opening weekend, Boghosian sold 1,800 orders and at five to a pop, that totaled 9,000 treats. He told Sign On San Diego that required 150 pounds of Kool-Aid. The doughy novelty is sweeping the nation, via Twitter of course, with people begging that the treats to come to a fair near them. Hopefully Boghosian will give the people what they want and broker a deal with a national donut chain so we can all get a bite. Or else, head west my friends to San Diego where the County Fair runs through Monday, July 4. http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/deep-fried-kool-aid-san-diego-county-fair?GT1=47001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fried everything at the State Fair of Texas, then people head for the Midway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
