State Fair Deep Fried Candy Bars

This is a recipe post more for laughs and shock value than to really home-make. It's definitely not healthy! But you recreate the deep-fried magic of state/county fairs and trips to Seaside right in your own kitchen! And it's not so horrible on the cholesterol level if you share it and only have maybe once a year ;) This is enough batter to coat two candy bars, maybe a third one. Milky Ways are the best for this but Snickers, Mars Bars, and 3 Musketeers also work-- pretty much anything with a gooey center that you can poke a skewer through, hard chocolate won't work.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 2
• Yields: 2 fried candy bars

Ingredients

• 2 (12 ounce)  chocolate candy bars (see description for suggestions)
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup cornstarch
• 1  pinch baking soda (about 1/8 tsp)
• 1  cup milk (this is approximate, see instructions)
•  canola oil or   vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. Chill the candy by keeping it in the fridge but don't freeze it or else this recipe won't work.
2. Sift the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Pour in milk until it's a rich, creamy consistency, this is give or take 1 cup.
3. Fully coat the candy in the batter.
4. DEEP FRYER METHOD.
5. Using a strong wooden skewer (metal will burn your hands severely), pierce it through the bottom and lower it into an oil-filled deep fryer and remove when golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
6. PAN FRY METHOD.
7. Heat 1-2" of oil in a frying pan. Drop the battered candy bar into the oil and fry on all sides, turning with a spatula or slotted spoon. Remove when golden brown, about 5-8 minutes.
8. They are awesome when chopped into bits and served with ice cream!
