Review: Jack in the Box - Mini Funnel Cake

Jack in the Box's Mini Funnel Cake features a cake-like batter, deep-fried and dusted with powdered sugar. A little piece of fair food can be had at your local Jack in the Box for an easy $1.

While I have serious doubts that they pour cake batter into the deep-fryer and fried until a golden brown (it just doesn't have the same melty feel of freshness), it is more likely that they take a frozen pre-made funnel cake and fry it up when you order it which, quite frankly, is a reasonable substitute.

For the most part, you get that familiar funnel cake taste, but it's a little bit chewier than a freshly fried batter would be. Still, it's nice, crisp, hot, and not too sweet. I'd give it a try, if you're fiending for some funnel cake and the fair's not in town.
