DALLAS –

Ten finalists have been selected, hoping to secure a coveted title.

In the sweet category, there is an arroz con leche dessert named as a finalist. It is described as a cinnamon-spiced rice ball battered and coated in puffed rice cereal. Then it is deep fried.

If a dessert taco entices you, a cotton candy taco is a semifinalist. It is described as a taco shell made from a graham-cracker waffle cone stuffed with chocolate, toasted marshmallow and organic cane-sugar cotton candy.

And for a something heartier, another semifinalist is deep-fried shepherd’s pie: potato balls made with shredded cheddar cheese and cream. Then they are filled with ground beef, mixed vegetables and beef gravy before being deep fried.
