rockyblue Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 deep fat fried Mars bar...it's been a goal of mine to try one of these ever since i first heard about them like 10 years ago. well, yesterday, i achived that goal. one of the countries featured this year at the folk life festival is scotland, where fried candy bars are very popular. i went down to the mall yesterday to check out the festival and came across a vendor selling fried mars bars and HAD to get one. OMG people, this is the best thing that has ever come out of the UK! there is really nothing more decadent than a fried candy bar. the only bad thing is the severe coma brought on by the sugar crash.

nourishment Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 I was at a festival in Norfolk a couple weeks ago. In addition to the fried candy bars, they also offered fried Oreos and Twinkies. I'll have to take your word on whether or not they taste *good*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadygroovedc Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 That looks awesome. I've never deep fried anything in my life, but that looks like something I shoud try to make. I'd eat that every night for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinybutterfli Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 speaking of goodies we can't really get here in the US....have you guys ever tried Kinder Surprise Eggs? They are sold every where in the world except for the US & S. Africa (no idea why) But they are chocolate eggs w/ a white chocolate lining... They are hollow and inside contain a "surprise toy" (*waits for someone to turn that into something sexual*)Now that is some good candy!

I was told they're not sold here because of the potential lawsuit from some kid eating the "surprise toy." Wouldn't surprise me it that's the case.

pgiddy Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 as a kid my brother and I used to deep fry everything, until I dropped the chicken too fast and burned his leg, then we had to use the microwave, it was all down hill from there. Anyways we would deep fry peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all the time, soo good and healthy they were. We could fry a whole turkey or chicken in no time.....everybody should own a deep frier.....
