Tasting some of the flavor of Okoboji

One of the entries on the list of 100 Things to Eat is found at the Nutty Bar Stand along the shore of West Lake Okoboji. It's exactly what it looks like in the photo: a block of vanilla ice cream (Wells' Blue Bunny) on a stick, dipped in chocolate, rolled in nuts. I was a little surprised by the blocky shape of the treat but, once I got started, it ate just fine. I can understand the tradition that has grown up around stopping by the stand to pick up one of these after an Iowa summer day on the water. Add to the the location and it's very easy to see why this Iowa item made the list.
