I heard about deep-fried Snickers bars available at the local fair, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to eat a fried chocolate candy bar. It sounds pretty gross. Wouldn't it just melt in the oil? Or, if it were dipped in batter before frying, the whole thing would be a gooey mess to eat.

They are well known in Scotland, the 'classic' is apparently the deep-fried Mars Bar. They are fried in batter, in the same manner as Fish (as in Fish and Chips). Then they wonder why the Scots have far higher rates of heart disease than we Sassenachs.

I fear that I have never tried one (for which the lining of my arteries is very thankful).

But, fish doesn't melt under high temperatures, whereas as a Mars bar (like a Milky Way) should just melt into a sugary and chocolate-y mess. I guess the batter would hold the concoction together, but I imagine it would be difficult to split one of these among a family. At least the fish seems halfway healthy.
