With flavor notes of raspberry, lemon, and vanilla, some say it is reminiscent of cotton candy or bubble gum. Several cities and states have claimed to be the birthplace of this unique ice cream, but just as no one knows the recipe, no one knows the origins. However, no Midwest ice cream parlor is complete without this flavor on the menu. Puppy Chow Puppy Chow, Muddy Buddies, Trash, Reindeer Chow — whatever you call it, this homemade candy is beloved by many in the Midwest.

While its namesake is highly toxic when taken internally, the sweet treat is completely, and deliciously edible. Made with a sugary peanut butter mixture formed into a ball, it is then covered in melted chocolate, leaving a small circle of peanut butter uncovered. This preparation creates a confection with a striking resemblance to nature’s buckeye. Strawberry Pretzel Salad Don’t let the name confuse you; there is nothing “salad” about Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Misnomer aside, a Midwest culinary tour is never complete without this salty-sweet classic. Beginning with a bottom crust of crushed pretzels and butter, this salad is more of a layered bar dessert. Next comes the fluffy center of either cream cheese, Cool Whip, or a mixture of both. Finally, strawberries set in Jello cover the top. Whether it is the Fourth of July or Christmas, it's always the right time for Strawberry Pretzel Salad.Episode: 10 Old School Classics From The Midwest that Stood the Test of TimeKolaches While originally from Central Europe, Nebraska’s rich Czech population has made kolaches a staple in the Midwest.
