It is said to have been invented in the Haven Chip Bar in Stonehaven, near Aberden on Scotland's North-East coast, in 1995.
1 deep fried mars bar (change servings and units)
Ingredients
- 1 Mars bar or Milky Way bar
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup corn flour
- 1 pinch baking soda
- milk or beer
- oil (for deep frying)
Directions
Chill the chocolate bar by keeping it in the fridge, but don't freeze it.
Mix the flours and bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) together.
Add milk (traditional) or beer (which gives a lighter result) until you get a batter with the consistency of thin cream.
Heat the oil until a small piece of bread will brown in a few seconds, but don't allow to smoke.
Remove wrapper from chilled chocolate bar.
Coat completely in batter.
Carefully lower into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Serve, with ice cream or french fries, if you're so inclined.
I've never had a deep fried candy bar! You should make small samples for the class or something! That would be incredible!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this seems soooooooooo delicious, I would always try one if I'm not on a diet. Desserts are my favourite!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of deep fried candy bars but more commonly I hear of deep fried Twinkies. I just don't know if I could handle that. While I was in Rochester for Labor Day weekend one vendor was selling deep fried Oreos. I was tempted to try them but just went with funnel cake instead.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of something like that before, but that picture looks disgusting. I mean I would try the candy bar, but I hope it taste better than it looks.

Apparently the picture looks unpleasant.If it looks better(or what you showed is when the candy bar is melt?), I may try it.Anyway, desserts are always attractive.
ReplyDeleteI've had one of these before. I can assure you that it tastes far better than it looks. If they're done wrong they can be greasy and gross, but if they're cooked right they're truly epic.
ReplyDeleteYou've tried it before?? where? so far I haven't been able to find somewhere that will have fried cany bars.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of fried ice cream. The first time I heard of fried ice cream, I just didn't understand how that could even exist. But after I tasted it, I fell in love with it. I have a hunch that this fried mars bar would be delicious
ReplyDeleteThe fried Mars bar is a UK cultural phenomenon. There are reportedly places in the UK where you can bring any food item you want to be deep-fried.
