Deep fried Mars bars gets a Norwegian friend

[Svein]

Some of you may know the Scottish fish&chip shop dessert deep fried mars bar, which is a mars chocolate bars dipped I'm batter and deep fried.

I used the rest of a beer-based batter that I had used for fish (but changed the oil). Batter recipe:
400g plain flour, which have been frozen in the freezer
3tsp baking powder
50 cl very cold beer (as close to freezing as you dare)
1/2tsp salt


Heat oil to 185 degree c or 365 F
Mix together batter just before you are ready to fry, should be like a thick sauce

Dip chocolate in batter and deep fry

Ready to dive in, mars bar and friend Bamsemums (bearchu) (a Norwegian bear shaped chocolate-covered marshmallow candy)

Mars bar after about 1 min, bamsemums about 20 sec, banana 2 min (at the left)

The bamsemums was truly fantastic.

Looks like one tasty bear!

If I fried the Mars bars, I would have to also try Snickers and Three Musketeers to keep it company.
Might have to try that in peanut oil.

Awesome. Looks tasty. Have you tried deep fried butter on a stick? They started doing that at the county fairs here in nc.
