Let’s be honest. One of the best things about carnivals in Mississippi is the food. Fortunately, you no longer have to wait for a state fair to fill up on classic carnival treats, and that’s because there’s a candy store that specializes in the stuff. Yes, that’s right; you can enjoy your favorite carnival foods all year long!
With food, candy and a giant SpongeBob, Carnival Treats in Lyon, MS is one of the most unique diversions in the state.
Somewhat remote, the candy store is located along a remote section of Highway 61.
Don’t worry about the rural area though. Between the shiny painted exterior and the 15-foot-tall SpongeBob standing out front, it’s almost impossible to miss.
Aptly named, Carnival Treats features a menu filled with classic carnival treats.
Fair-inspired fare includes funnel cake, gourmet popcorn, fried Oreos, snow cones and other carnival favorites.
At fairs and carnivals, funnel cakes are among the most popular foods served, and the same can be said for Carnival Treats, which makes nearly two dozen varieties of the classic cake.
Giving a tasty twist to the straight-up favorite, Carnival Treats tops its specialty treats with fruit, cereal, candies, cookies and more.
Offering a taste of honest fun, without any of the fuss, Carnival Treats is like a (sweet) dream come true!
