The concept of deep-frying candy bars originated in fish and chips shops in Scotland. Originally, the Mars Bar was fried in the same type batter used for the fish. The idea appeared in the U.S. at carnivals and state fairs, using a wide variety of candy bars, mostly Snickers.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Deep fryer
Cooking oil, such as vegetable or peanut
Snickers candy bar
Batter, such as funnel cake batter mix
Several bowls
Tongs and spoons
Powdered sugar for garnish

Step 1

Place the Snickers bar in the freezer. Allow the bar to become hard to help prevent melting when deep frying.
Step 2

Pre-heat the oil in the deep fryer. Use vegetable or peanut oil and heat to about 375 degrees F.
Step 3

Make the batter. Use funnel cake batter, pancake batter or other standard batter recipe. The batter should be thick in order to stick to the Snickers bar. Be sure the entire bar is thoroughly coated with batter.
Step 4

Lower the Snickers bar carefully into the deep fryer. Use tongs and stir slightly to prevent sticking. Fry until golden brown, approximately 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the fried Snickers bar from the oil and drain. Use caution; the bar will be hot.
Step 5

Allow the Snickers bar to cool; the inside will be very hot. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
