So, if you were a sweet (such as a cookie, dessert, etc), where would you live? L.V. Anderson from Slate.com FOOD answers that question with United Sweets of America<\/a>: If every state had an official dessert, what would it be? (Montana gets S\u2019mores.)<\/i>.<\/div>\n

With her noting that “only eight states have an official dessert,” she goes on a quest to give every state a dessert. Her rules:<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. States all have to have a different dessert. In other words, once one state has claimed a dessert, no other state can use it as theirs.<\/li>\n
  2. “Brands are not desserts.” (Anderson makes an exception with Jell-O.)<\/li>\n
  3. And, lastly, no one state can claim the all-American apple pie or chocolate chip cookies as their own.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You’ll find all your favorites here, from fried pies to brownies, and some interesting ones, too, such as pot candy (yes, candy made from Mary Jane). <\/p>\n

    So, which are the 8 “official” state desserts, and some other official state sweets and baked treats? The list is below. It’s worth noting Massachusetts has its sweet on with 4 entries. I now have a goal to seek out and taste a Boston Cream Doughnut.<\/p>\n
