Calorie counts on virtually every product you can buy, constant warnings about sodium levels and sugar - it's an age of constant reminders of healthy eating.

America's latest food craze, however, sets the clock back a thousand years: deep fried Kool-Aid balls.

The drink beloved by generations of Americans now comes in snack form in the shape of crispy little balls that resemble tiny creatures from a Fifties horror B-movie.

The Kool-Aid balls were created by chef Charlie Boghosian who quickly found his diabetes and obesity bombs are a massive hit.

He simply drops spoonfuls of the batter, made up of the famous drink mix, flour and water, into the burning fat, lets it sizzle for a minute and bang, the latest contribution to the culinary arts is born.

The 'treat' has been selling like crazy at county fairs throughout the South and after making its first appearance at the San Diego County Fair the snack went viral.

like to try them sometime. :yes:

They actually look pretty good! I'd try them.


I have to laugh at the story however...'Latest food craze'.  Like we are all falling over ourselves to get them.

It's a county fair thing.  For years, they've been trying to 'outdo' themselves with odd 'deep fried' or 'on a stick' creations.  I'm sure they're won't be a takeout spot dedicated to them...

So its sugar, flavor, color and flour, fried.

Sounds just like a doughnut.

No big deal.

Actually, the Scottish have the US beat on that...they set the bar, so to speak. They even deep fry pizza. :P

Although I do like fair food once a year and would probably half an order of the kool-aid balls with my husband.

I'm sorry but one place in San Diego does NOT make a new food craze or a "new US snack".
