If you've always had a hankering to sink your teeth into a deep-fried slab of butter, you'll be able to find it at Musikfest this year.

First it was deep-fried Oreos and candy bars. Then in 2011, Musikfest food vendors offered fans deep-fried Kool-Aid.

It's become a quest for summer festivals - what's next to hit the deep fryer?

In 2012, festivals in San Diego started deep-frying breakfast cereal.

Last year, The Great Allentown Fair added deep-fried bubble gum.

Deep-fried butter isn't a new phenomenon - it made the rounds at the Iowa State Fair in 2011. But it's the first time the concoction will be offered at Musikfest, says ArtsQuest spokesman Mark Demko.

If you want to try it, head to MMG Concessions during Musikfest, which runs Aug. 7-16 in Bethlehem. According to musikfest.org, deep-fried butter will be offered at the vendor's Volksplatz stand.

Not feeling the butter? MMG Concessions will also offer fried candy, fried mashed potato balls and fried ice cream.
