Deep Fried Snickers Recipe

Introduction

Deep fried Snickers is a decadent treat that combines the gooey sweetness of caramel and nougat with a crispy, golden batter. Perfect for special occasions or when you want a fun, indulgent dessert that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Bisquick pancake mix
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 12 mini Snickers (or 6 full size Snickers)
• Optional bamboo skewers
• Oil for frying

Instructions

1. Step 1: Fill a heavy bottom pot 5-6 inches deep with vegetable oil. Use an oil or candy thermometer to bring the oil temperature to 375°F.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, add the pancake mix, milk, vegetable oil, and egg.
3. Step 3: Whisk the batter until most lumps are gone. The batter should be thick enough to coat the Snickers without dripping off. Adjust by adding more mix if too runny or more milk if too thick. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
4. Step 4: (Optional) Insert a bamboo skewer into each Snickers for easier handling.
5. Step 5: Coat each Snickers bar thoroughly with the batter.
6. Step 6: Shake off any excess batter gently.
7. Step 7: Carefully place the battered Snickers into the hot oil. Use a utensil to keep them submerged if they float to the surface.
8. Step 8: Fry until the batter turns a deep golden color, then remove and drain on a wire rack lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Step 9: Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use mini Snickers for easier frying and a perfect bite size snack.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
• Make sure the oil temperature stays steady at 375°F to ensure crispiness without overcooking the candy inside.
• Try other candy bars like Twix or Milky Way for a tasty twist.

Storage

Deep fried Snickers are best enjoyed fresh and warm. If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. Reheat briefly in an oven or toaster oven to regain some crispiness, but they are not ideal for long-term storage.

FAQs

Can I use regular pancake mix instead of Bisquick?

Yes, regular pancake mix can work well as a substitute. Just ensure the batter is thick enough to coat the Snickers properly.

Is it safe to deep fry candy bars?

Yes, as long as the oil temperature is carefully monitored and maintained around 375°F. Excessively hot oil can cause the candy to melt too quickly or burn the batter.

• Category: Dessert
• Method: Frying
• Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Batter

• 1 cup Bisquick pancake mix
• ½ cup milk
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 egg

Snickers

• 12 mini Snickers bars or 6 full-size Snickers bars

For Frying

• Oil for frying (enough to fill a heavy bottom pot 5-6 inches deep, typically vegetable oil)

Optional

• Bamboo skewers

Instructions

1. Heat the Oil: Fill a heavy-bottom pot with 5-6 inches of vegetable oil. Attach an oil or candy thermometer and heat the oil to 375°F (190°C) over medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine Bisquick pancake mix, milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Whisk the ingredients together until most lumps disappear and the batter is thick enough to coat the Snickers without dripping. Adjust thickness by adding a little more mix if too runny or milk if too thick. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. Skewer the Snickers (Optional): Insert bamboo skewers into each Snickers bar if desired, for easier handling during frying.
4. Coat the Snickers: Dip each Snickers bar into the batter, making sure it is completely covered. Shake gently to remove any excess batter.
5. Fry the Snickers: Carefully lower the battered Snickers into the hot oil. If they bob up to the surface, use a utensil to keep them submerged for even frying. Fry until the coating is a deep golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried Snickers from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the fried Snickers to cool for 5 to 10 minutes so they firm up slightly. Serve warm for the best gooey, melty experience.

Notes

• Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 375°F for best results and to prevent greasy or undercooked batter.
• If the batter is too runny, your fried coating may slide off; adjust thickness as needed.
• Frying in batches prevents overcrowding the pot, which can lower oil temperature.
• These are best eaten shortly after frying to enjoy the warm melted center and crispy coating.
• Be cautious with hot oil and use appropriate utensils to safely handle the fried candy bars.
