Puzzle your way through beloved desserts Minnesotans grew up eating—like scotcheroos, bundt cakes, pies, bars, and other classics served at church potlucks, family reunions, county fairs, and straight from grandma’s or mom’s recipe box—this puzzle is a treat for the eyes and heart.

 

Many of these recipes feature the staples of Midwestern dessert magic: bright, fruit-flavored gelatin, marshmallows and fluffy whipped topping, layered into creations as fun to make as they are to eat. You’ll even spot favorites from local traditions, like warm mini donuts from the county fair and those famous chocolate chip cookies from the Minnesota State Fair.

 

Along the way, discover fun foodie facts: Did you know the à la mode way of enjoying pie was first discovered in Duluth in the 1880s? Or that the iconic bundt cake pan was invented in Minneapolis in the 1950s by Nordic Ware? To make the puzzle even sweeter, we’ve included a piece of vintage pottery from Red Wing Stoneware—founded in 1877 in Red Wing. And here’s a tasty bit of trivia: the blueberry muffin was officially named the Minnesota State Muffin in 1988.

 

As the pieces come together, so will the memories, leaving you feeling nostalgic… and probably a little hungry.
