Izzy's Ice Cream
Missing the cart outside the Hamline Church Dining Hall? Find classic Izzy's flavors in many grocery stores.
JonnyPops
The fruit-and-cream pops sold from a cart in the fair's West End come in boxes of four in stores. Also, try nondairy red-white-and-blue rocket pops and oat milk pops.
Lefse
Re-create the variations sold at Lynn's Potato Lefse, a delightful Food Building destination, by picking up the Scandinavian flatbread and dressing it up with butter, cinnamon-sugar, fruit preserves and other toppings.
Minneapple Pie
The fair stand bottles its apple syrup, which can be used to top ice cream, French toast, oatmeal and, of course, pie. At Lunds & Byerlys, Coborn's and on Amazon.
Nordic Waffles
A bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich served on a signature waffle is frozen and sold at Lunds & Byerlys and, for a short time, at Cub. (Or get a fresh one from Nordic Waffles' stand at Potluck in the Rosedale mall).
Sara's Tipsy Pies
The booze-spiked pies with a stand in the Food Building also come in four flavors in many grocery stores' frozen dessert aisle.
Sweet Martha's Cookie Jar
The fair's top-grossing food purveyor packages frozen dough in five flavors, pre-portioned so you can plop them on a baking sheet and have warm cookies in minutes. In the frozen dessert aisle at many stores. Souvenir bucket is sadly not included.
Scaled for the excesses of the Minnesota State Fair — in other words, they're gigantic, and then some — these plus-size cookies have more than scale going for them, they're also delicious. And yes, there's a five-pound ($50) option.
525 Diffley Road, Eagan, and 12401 Wayzata Blvd. (Ridgedale shopping center), Minnetonka, 612-345-5815
Thelma's ice cream sandwiches
Cookies based on the recipe of a 108-year-old Iowa great-grandma, filled with ice cream, appear in freezer aisles across Minnesota.
Thomasina's Cashew Brittle
Picking up this better-than-peanut-brittle treat has been a reason to navigate the crowds inside the Merchandise Mart since 2009. Find it at several Twin Cities retailers, or order online.
Will the key voting bloc support Harris or Trump? We went to the Minnesota State Fair (where else?) and asked them.
