Things You'll Need

• Candy bars (Mars, Milky Way, Snickers, etc.)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 4 cups of canola or other vegetable oil for frying
• Deep fryer or deep frying pan
• Paper towels
• Metal tongs or strainer spoon
• Splatter screen

Instructions

1. Freeze the candy bars for at least two hours.

2. Mix the egg, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and milk in a small bowl.

3. Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl.

4. Whisk together the milk mixture and dry ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate the batter.

5. Heat 4 cups of canola or other vegetable oil to 375 degrees in a deep fryer or deep frying pan.

6. Take the batter out of the refrigerator and dip the frozen candy bars into it until thoroughly coated.

7. Fry the battered candy bars in the hot oil until they turn golden brown. Remove the candy bars from the oil with metal tongs or a strainer spoon, and drain them on paper towels.

8. Allow the deep-fried candy bars to cool on the paper towels for at least two minutes before serving. The centers will be warm.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a splatter screen over the hot oil in your deep frying pan to prevent splatter burns. Allow the oil to return to 375 degrees between batches.

• It is important to freeze the candy bars before frying because room-temperature candy bars will melt through the batter during frying. Do not let the battered candy bars touch each other during frying, or they will stick together.
