A fun and tasty treat that is gooey and battered, these Deep Fried Snickers are an indulgent treat that is fun for the whole family.
So I’m a huge fan of playing around with food, and we have been making Deep Fried Snickers for the longest time. It is one indulgence that we just can’t get enough of.
Usually, you can find these at the fair, but you can find them at my house multiple times throughout the year. I love deep frying, and we just kinda play around with different things.
This batter works great for deep frying pretty much any of your favorite foods, but if you want something that is a real indulgence, then you have to make these Deep Fried Snickers.
With a puffy outside and an ooey gooey center from the slightly melted candy bar, you have yourself a seriously mouthwatering dessert that adults and kids love.
I know this isn’t the healthiest thing on the block, but I mean, why not try everything once! And these are one of those things you’ll want to definitely try once.
Some of our other favorite fair food recipes we have on our site include: Funnel Cakes, Elephant Ears, and Fried Cheese Curds.
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
- Minimal ingredients help these come together nicely.
- You can make them smaller by using mini Snickers.
- This makes a bunch, so you can feed a lot!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):
Snickers bars
Peanut oil for frying
Eggs
Granulated sugar
Whole milk
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Fine sea salt
Powdered sugar for dusting
HOW TO MAKE DEEP FRIED SNICKERS:
- Take sturdy wooden skewers and insert them through the length of the snickers bars, but do not go through to the other side. Place them all on a sheet tray or plate and freeze until solid, about 6 hours.
- Preheat a deep fryer with peanut oil or your preferred frying oil to 350°F, or you can use a dutch oven for this with a candy thermometer to keep tabs on the oil temp.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth. Slowly whisk in the milk until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth, a couple of flour lumps are okay. The batter should be thick, slightly thinner than pancake batter.
- Once the oil is hot take the frozen snickers one by one and dip it in the batter until coated. Let any excess drip off.
- Slowly lower the snickers into the oil, I like to keep a hold of the skewer for 5-10 seconds to let the bottom of the bar fry before dropping it in. This will make the bottom of the batter set up so it won’t stick to the fry basket.
- Fry for about 2 minutes per side or until your desired color is reached. Place on a paper-towel-lined plate to catch any excess oil.
- Place the fried snickers onto a wire rack over a sheet tray so it doesn’t get soggy. Once all the bars are fried, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
WHY DO I NEED TO FREEZE MY SNICKERS?
This is to ensure that they do not fully melt while they are being deep fried and seep out of the breading.
Even though we are freezing the snickers, they will still get warm and gooey during the frying step.
CAN I USE THE FUN SIZED SNICKERS?
If you want smaller versions of these to have on hand for kids, or you just don’t want a whole snickers, you can use the fun-sized version as well.
They will make double the amount, or you can cut the recipe in half.
WHAT OTHER TOPPINGS CAN I USE?
Some other fun toppings that you can use instead of powdered sugar or along with powdered sugar include: chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, melted chocolate, or whipped cream.
HOW TO STORE:
I do not recommend storing these, they are best eaten immediately otherwise, they will get soggy after just a few hours.
You can, however, make the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator covered, where it will keep for up to 3 days, and the snickers can be frozen indefinitely.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Not a fan of snickers? Try other candy bars like Milky Way, Almond Joy, 3 Musketeers, etc.
- These are best eaten while first made.
- You can use fun-sized snickers instead of regular sized.
- The batter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Other toppings can be used, see suggestions above.
- We like to keep our snickers frozen to ensure they do not melt when frying.
- Try to deep fry one at a time.
