Carnival Food from the Comfort of Your Kitchen

July 2, 2014 by FaveGlutenFreeRecipes

 

Kid-Friendly FoodsAs a kid, I loved to go to the carnival when it came to town, and as an adult, that really hasn’t changed. I would ride the Ferris Wheel a dozen times, listen to the bands, and waste tons of money trying to win one of those miniature stuffed animals. But, my favorite part of the carnival would have to be the carnival food. Where else can you get fried food, corn dogs, popcorn, and ice cream all in one place?! You can just walk around aimlessly and choose which carnival food you’re going to splurge on.

These snacks are only available at the carnival, but now I’ve found some great carnival food that you can easily make from the comfort of your own home. Even if these snacks aren’t the healthiest, you deserve to treat yourself every once in a while.  A special treat makes a person happy, and a happier person makes everyone around them happier, too.  Therefore, these treats are actually benefiting you and those around you.  Plus, because these recipes are all homemade, these gluten-free snacks are much healthier (and less expensive!) than what you’d find at an actual carnival.

 

The Fantastic Fried Food

Ultimate Mozzarella SticksYou can’t have carnival food without having something fried. It’s physically impossible. So this collection wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t include some of these fried favorites.

1. Fried Banana Bites

2. Pineapple on a Stick

3. Ultimate Mozzarella Sticks (shown top right)

Batter Fried Green Beans4. Deep Fried Pickles

5. Batter Fried Green Beans (shown bottom right)

6. Homemade Churros

7. Zesty Vegan Popcorn “Chicken”

 

The Classic Corn Dogs

Mini Corn Dog Bites These corn dog recipes will be sure to transport you back to your childhood. When was the last time you enjoyed one of these awesome snacks?

2. Carnival Corn Dogs

3. Pluto Pups

 

The Perfectly Popped Popcorn

Cauliflower PopcornAhh, popcorn. It’ll be hard to choose between butter, cheese, or caramel popcorn. These recipes will be sure to satisfy your popcorn cravings.

1. Picture-Perfect Cheesy Popcorn

2. Cauliflower Popcorn (shown right)

3. Maple Sweetened Caramel Corn

4. Sweet and Spicy Popcorn

5. Salt and Pepper Cheezy Popcorn

 

The Frosty Frozen Treats

Homemade ChipwichesBecause the carnival always comes during the hottest months of the year, these frozen treats are absolutely necessary. You can easily cool down with this carnival food.

1. Copycat Disney Dole Whip

2. Homemade Chipwiches (shown right)

3. Chocolate Banana Fudgsicles

 

The Other Carnival Favorites

Onion RingsThese don’t quite fit in any other category, but I love them so much that I couldn’t bear to leave them out!
