What are MooNugs? A sweet, decadent dessert new to The Big E
Don't be fooled, these aren't chicken nuggets, although it looks like it.
WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA – A surprising new treat is making waves at The Big E this year, as Moolicious Farm has introduced "MooNugs," an innovative dessert designed to mimic the appearance of traditional chicken nuggets. These unique confections are a frozen block of maple/bacon-flavored ice cream, encased in a layer of white chocolate, and then coated with frosted corn flakes to achieve their distinctive golden-brown, crispy exterior. Visitors to The Big E can find MooNugs at the Moolicious Farm stand, located on Springfield Road and West Road within the fairgrounds. Priced at $13 per serving, the dessert comes with a choice of dipping sauces, allowing customers to customize their experience with options such as chocolate, caramel, maple, or marshmallow. Early reactions suggest a blend of curiosity and delight, with many fairgoers intrigued by the novel presentation. "It really looks like a chicken nugget at first glance," commented one visitor, "but then you bite into it and it's pure ice cream. It's a fun twist on dessert." The treat offers a playful culinary experience, blending familiar savory aesthetics with a sweet, frozen core, making it a notable item among the diverse food offerings at the popular annual event.
