Charles and I just tried to fry some candybars.
We used an online batter reciepe we chilled both the batter and the candybars but when we put the battered covered candybars in the deep fryer the batter seperated from the candybars and fried off and the candybars melted. Anyone have an idea of what happened?
Frying Candybar Emergency

My uneducated guess is that you didn’t have the oil hot enough. You don’t have to fry it long if you have the oil really hot. Of course, this is more dangerous. I’ve never tried this, but I’ve had trouble deep frying odd things when the oil is too cool. FYI: My neighbor when I was in junior high set his kitchen (and legs and torso) on fire trying to make French Fries. Seeing the effects of that makes me leery on getting frying oil too hot. I mean, for strictly non-sexual purposes.
That batter wasn’t made properly I think…why are you frying candybars? Isn’t that just evil?
I’ve never fried candybars before but I have done fried ice cream. Next time try freezing the candybars for like an hour. (When i did ice cream i had to freeze it over night, aside for the fact that its ice cream and it goes in the freezer, in a deep freezer so it was rock hard.) That way it will take longer for the candybars to melt and will let the coating brown. Make sure the oil is hot enough. Most things are fried at 350-360 degrees. To test, take a little piece of coating and drop it in the oil. If it starts to cooks immediately, its ready. Now other fried sweets take only about 30 seconds at most. Any longer than that and your coating will fall off.
I hope this helps.
“Do you know what happened?”
Do you mean before or after you both had a heart attack… deep fried candy bars? Is that like an Atkins thing?
lol
I would also suggest letting the batter set on the candy bars for a bit first. I could be wrong, it’s more of a Scottish thing than an Irish thing. Do you guys have Mars bars over there? Thats the ‘traditional’ Scottish deep fried candy bar.
Hey! Where’s my gravatar!
Fried candy bars?? It actually sounds like something a southerner would come up with!
Yea, us hicks have nothing better to do than sit around and fry stuff, that’s why we are fat and have no teeth.
Come on, fried candybars. WTF?! That’s sick as hell. Do you have a death wish money pit or something. You are soooo much better than that. Go fast boil some water, dump in whole broccoli shoots, drain once to remove external chems and reboil, add rice till done, cut up, add soy sauce, eat and store. FAN-FRICKING-TABULOUS. Peace grrl, from your anonymous bro!
