Ingredients
- 4 Snickers bars
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions & Preparation
- Start by preparing your frying oil. In a large, deep pot or fryer, pour enough vegetable oil to fill it about 3 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).
- While the oil is heating, unwrap each Snickers bar and set them aside on a plate. This ensures they are ready to be battered without delay.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Next, add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine as they will create a light batter.
- Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, dip each Snickers bar into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing them carefully into the hot oil.
- Fry the Snickers bars in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown on all sides.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried Snickers bars from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Once all the bars are fried, dust them lightly with powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately while hot for the best experience.
FAQs
What can I do if the batter is too thick?
If the batter is too thick to coat the Snickers bars easily, gradually add a little more buttermilk until it reaches a smooth and pourable consistency.
Can I use a different candy bar for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute Snickers with other candy bars like Milky Way or Twix for a different flavor profile.
How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying?
You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it. If it sizzles and rises to the surface immediately, it's ready for frying.
What should I do if the Snickers bars leak during frying?
If the filling starts to leak out, it's often due to overcooking. Ensure you cook them just until golden brown to minimize leakage.
Can I make a larger batch of deep fried Snickers?
Yes, you can scale the recipe up by doubling or tripling the ingredients, but be cautious not to overcrowd the frying pot for even cooking.
What is the best way to serve deep fried Snickers?
Serve them hot, either plain or dusted with powdered sugar, and optionally with a side of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
