Ingredients

Units Scale

Snickers and Frying

  • 16 full-sized Snickers bars
  • Peanut oil for frying

Batter

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Topping

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Snickers Bars:
    Take sturdy wooden skewers and insert them through the length of the Snickers bars, ensuring they don’t pierce through the other side. Place the skewered Snickers on a sheet tray or plate and freeze until solid, approximately 6 hours.
  2. Heat the Oil:
    Preheat your deep fryer or a Dutch oven filled with peanut oil to 350°F. If using a Dutch oven, monitor the oil temperature with a candy thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  3. Prepare the Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add the whole milk, whisking until fully combined. Then, add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Mix until the batter is smooth; some small lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but slightly thinner than pancake batter.
  4. Dip Snickers and Fry:
    Once the oil is hot, take the frozen Snickers bars one at a time and dip them into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off. Slowly lower the battered Snickers into the hot oil, holding the skewers for 5-10 seconds to let the bottom set and prevent sticking to the fry basket.
  5. Fry to Perfection:
    Fry the Snickers for about 2 minutes on each side or until they achieve a golden-brown color. Once fried, place the bars on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  6. Serve:
    Transfer the fried Snickers to a wire rack set over a sheet tray to keep them crisp. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve while still warm.

Notes

  • You can use other candy bars like Milky Way, Almond Joy, or 3 Musketeers if you’re not a fan of Snickers.
  • These fried treats are best enjoyed fresh while still warm.
  • You can substitute fun-sized Snickers for full-sized bars for smaller portions.
  • The batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Other toppings, such as melted chocolate or caramel drizzle, work wonderfully too.
  • Keeping the Snickers bars frozen beforehand ensures they don’t melt during frying.
  • For best results, fry one bar at a time to maintain oil temperature and perfect crispiness.
