Here’s what you need for these deviled eggs. We use fresh Ohio eggs from local farmers for that authentic fair vibe.

• 6 large Ohio eggs, hard-boiled
• ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1 tbsp crumbled gluten-free shortbread cookies

We use a KitchenAid stand mixer for a smooth filling, but a hand mixer or fork works too. (Affiliate link; we may earn a small commission.) Discover Ohio’s fresh eggs at OhioEggs.com.

These steps are easy, with photos to guide you. Let’s make fair-worthy deviled eggs!

Step 1: Boil Eggs (10 minutes)

Cover eggs with cold water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then cool in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel carefully.

Step 2: Prep Yolks (2 minutes)

Halve eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into a mixer or bowl. Place whites on a platter.

Step 3: Mix Filling (3 minutes)

Add cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to yolks. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.

Step 4: Add Chips (1 minute)

Stir in mini chocolate chips with a spoon.

Step 5: Fill Eggs (4 minutes)

Spoon or pipe filling into egg whites using a zip-top bag with a corner cut.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve (2 minutes)

Sprinkle with shortbread crumbs. Chill for 10 minutes (optional) and serve.

Pro Tip: Pipe the filling for a fancy, fair-like look!

Here’s what we learned to make these eggs perfect:

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for a silky filling.
• Boil eggs a day ahead, they peel easier.
• Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness (our first batch was too sweet without it!).

We love tweaking flavors, here are twists we tried:

• Lighter: Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a tangy kick.
• Nutty: Add 1 tbsp peanut butter for a cookie-dough vibe.
• Spicy: Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne for a sweet-spicy edge.

The classic version matches the Ohio Fair’s 2025 recipe, but these twists are party hits!

• Store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, with parchment paper between layers.
• Serve: Best chilled, but let sit out for 10 minutes if you like.
• Don’t Freeze: Egg whites get rubbery, so skip the freezer.

We prep the filling a day ahead to save time for parties.
