I had deep fried Snickers at the state fair here last year.(MN)
Wash it down with a bunch of beer and cheese curds and I made Michael Moore jealous.

I love the Mars bar, I also like deep-fried food. This would unite both of my likes.You can get your sugar fix and fill your weekly grease quota, all in one convenient package.

I can't imagine. Crunchy? Gooey? Like a donut, maybe with rich, rich filling? I heard, on Food TV I think, the Scots get a kick out of watching people unfamiliar with the 'treat' eat it, because it's soooo deceptively hot inside, like nacho cheese can get, I imagine, that silly (American) people burn their tongues and do that funny burn dance... I hear the Scots deep fry 'everything'. With 'Haggus' as the national dish, deep fried candy
would be a treat!
I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask if they have a portable defibrulator on hand... Remember Moe's family eatery, everything deep fried?

Freeze the Snickers bar first. (Trust me.)

It will work with almost any kind of candy or fruit, even with twinkies they say. I had a deep fried twinkee at Six Flags Over St. Louis. Not bad. But I don't expect to have another. Recently diagnosed with diabetes. To those of you who can have one, might as well try it. My belief is you have to live while you are alive.

I believe that the deep fried Twinkie got its start in Scotland as well.
I've served those for desert after deep frying a turkey. I'll have to give the Mars bar a shot next time.

I'm afraid I'd like it.Me too. I think it would be like opium....... except cheaper.
I'm staying away from it.........seems like it would be a repeated affair.

If I were doing an international expansion planning at Krispy Kreme, I think Scotland would have just jumped to the top of the list...

Good king Wenceslas looked down
on the feast of Stephen.
And saw the Mars bars now were all
"deep and crisp and eaten."

Hmmm. What to have for dinner?
Haggis or deep-fried Mars bar?
I do hope that that wasn't a slight at the wonderful haggis.
The mere thought of a deep-fried mars bar has always made me feel queasy; I was at university in Scotland and they had the confectionary lined up in a couple of the fish-shops.
Haggis, on the other hand, is glorious.

Oil is a vegetable, and most of us don't get enough vegetables. Accordingly, deep frying is a good way to get your daily quota of this nutritious food.
