This indulgent treat is perfect for parties, fairs, or simply as a special dessert at home. The process may seem daunting, but with a few simple ingredients and techniques, you can create a memorable dessert that will surprise and delight your family and friends.

Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just starting to explore the world of frying, this recipe will guide you through the essentials of making deep fried Snickers. Let’s dive into this sweet adventure!

Ingredients

  • 4 Snickers bars
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Directions & Preparation

  1. Start by heating the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the Snickers bars completely.
  2. While the oil is heating, prepare the batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Once the oil is hot, take the Snickers bars and dip each one into the batter, ensuring they are completely coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
  5. Carefully lower the battered Snickers bars into the hot oil one at a time, being cautious to avoid splashes. Fry them in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding.
  6. Cook the Snickers bars for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
  7. If desired, dust the fried Snickers with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best experience!

FAQs

What if my batter is too thick?

If your batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth consistency.

Can I use other candy bars instead of Snickers?

Yes, feel free to experiment with other candy bars like Milky Way or Twix for a different flavor experience.

What should I do if the Snickers bars are not melting inside?

Ensure that the oil is hot enough before frying. If the temperature is too low, the bars may not melt properly.

How can I make the batter more flavorful?

You can add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of your favorite flavored extract to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.

What if my fried Snickers are too greasy?

Make sure to drain them well on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.

Can I scale this recipe for a larger group?

Absolutely! Just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need, keeping an eye on the frying in batches to ensure even cooking.

What happens if I overcook the Snickers?

If overcooked, the Snickers may become too hard and lose their gooey texture. Keep a close eye on the frying process to avoid this.

Conclusion

Deep frying Snickers is not just about the treat itself; it’s about the joy of creating something special. The crispy outer layer combined with the melted chocolate, nougat, and caramel makes for an unforgettable dessert experience.

So the next time you want to treat yourself or impress your guests, consider whipping up a batch of deep fried Snickers. It’s a fun cooking adventure that will leave everyone craving more.
