I had a deep-fried Mars bar at a carnival this fall, and it was insanely good! Anyone ever have one? Anyone ever make one? I found this recipe online, and I may try it with a Snickers bar. I'm open to other suggestions, though...



Deep Fried Mars Bars

Invented in Scotland, this dish has now become famous worldwide. It is an excellent source of fat, sugar and calories. For a seasonal variation you could also try deep frying a Cadbury's Creme Egg.

1 Mars or Milky Way bar
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup cornflour
1 pinch baking soda
milk or beer
oil (for deep frying)

1. Chill the chocolate bar by keeping it in the fridge, but don't freeze it.
2. Mix the flours and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) together.
3. Add milk (traditional) or beer (which gives a lighter result) until you get a batter with the consistency of thin cream.
4. Heat the oil until a small piece of bread will brown in a few seconds, but don't allow to smoke.
5. Remove wrapper from chilled chocolate bar.
6. Coat completely in batter.
7. Carefully lower into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
8. Serve, with ice cream or french fries, if you're so inclined.

milk or BEER???

CHIC0 said:

I KNOW!! Isn't that crazy!?!?

Lammastide said:

that whole concoction just sounds like a night in the loo.

CHIC0 said:

No doubt. I was all torn up for a day or two. But I'm willing to go through it again.

I figure only one of these every 6 months or so can't be that bad.

Lammastide said:

so did you make it with beer or milk?

I think I'd die if I ate that. I doubt my stomach would be able to handle it

CHIC0 said:

I bought the only one I've ever had from a vendor at the Canadian National Exhibition. I have no idea what the made the batter with, but I'd guess it wasn't beer.

no thanks

It sounds horrid, but I bet it is

Lammastide said:

ya think?!?

So are these. And, I'm 3 x guilty tonight...

I think I tried one at the State Fair a couple of years ago. It was OK, but not very memorable.


I do remember trying deep fried oreos, though, and they were gross.

I had a deep fried Oreo cookie this summer. Very disappointing. but the fried cheesecake I had was suprisingly good. Never had a fried candy bar.

i'll try it

Too late!! I've already got yours off in the mail!

I wish i could have a fried icecream like ch-chis made when they first opened

horatio said:

they don't make that anymore? NOOOO!!!

horatio said:

i thought that said fried ice cream with chi-chis

Anxiety said:

I dunno, last time i went there many years ago they didnt have it.
I know they have it at other mexican resturants, but its not the same. In fact its gross.

horatio said:

i know, chi-chis had it to a science. i'd probably gross out if i knew how their fried ice cream was actually prepared, but damn if i didn't love it at the time.

I have seen these at the State Fair..but never tasted. I think it might be to rich for my blood.

must EVERYTHING be fried??? DAMN

Deep fried Mars bars are amazing!!!

I've had deep fried Snickers as well but they're nothing in comparison!!!

You're right. We should eat healthier.

How about we STEAM the chocolate bars!?! Or POACH them?!? Or, better yet, eat them raw, chopped up in a salad of mixed green!?!

Lammastide said:

deep-frying chocolate is unnecessary and an overkill! its like deep-frying sex, or Michelangelo's David, or the chemistry between Lucy and Ethel!

Sex while covered in beer batter. I'm certain there's a website for that.
