[world_famous_recipes] Fw: [militaryspouses] Deep fried Snickers?
I received this from another non cooking group I belong to, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Okay, when a friend of mine told me that deep fried Snickers bars were popular in the South I really thought he was jerking my chain. I mean I heard that Southerners would eat anything fried in Crisco but REALLY. LOL! So I did some research. Here is an article I found that proves him right AND the recipes for 3 favorites: Deep fried candy bars, deep fried twinkies, and deep fried Oreo cookies.

Another Deep-Fried Treat Hits It Big
⬠Fried Twinkies, fried chocolate bars and now fried cookies have been selling like hot cakes at fairs around the nation recently.
ABCNEWS' Good Morning America first brought viewers news of the new crispy deep-fried Twinkie trend earlier this year.
Then, when the morning show heard about Shirley London's deep-friend Oreo cookie stand at this fall's Texas State Fair, another taste test was in order.
The combination of cream, cookie, buttermilk pancake batter and oil seems to please many palates.
London said she couldn't fry them fast enough.
Nearly 1,700 of the crispy saucers were flying out of her booth each day.
"It's the fair. People are out here to have a good time and destroy their diets," London said. "I've never had anyone in my 12 years here ask me, 'Where can I get a salad?"'
The cookies, which sold big at this year's Nevada State Fair too, sell for around $2 to $3 for a batch of six.
Brave customers at the Texas State Fair also lined up at a stand selling fried Snickers bars on a stick.
Fried candy bars first began to show up at fairs five years ago, imported from the fish-and-chip shops of Scotland, where deep-frying is an art.
Fried Twinkies were the big hit last year, but London says the Oreos really had mouths watering this year.
The chefs behind these sugary fried treats say success depends on the batter, which insulates the fried object from direct contact with the oil. If the batter is done right, it will become an edible shell and protect its the melted innards.
Fried Candy Bars
The miniature candy bars work very well for this recipe.
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Candy bars (Mars, Snickers, Almond Joy, Kit Kat or Twix)
-Chill or freeze the candy bars
-Combine egg, milk and vegetable oil in a cup.
-In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well with a wire whisk. Cover and chill for a few minutes while the oil heats.
-Remove batter from the refrigerator and adjust the consistency if necessary. Heat about 4 cups of oil or shortening to 375 degrees F. Dip the chilled candy bar in the batter and gently place into the oil. Cook only until the outside is golden. Remove and drain on brown paper. Allow to cool for a minute as the inside can easily burn your mouth.
