Deep-fried chocolate?
"Filled with rich chocolate sauce, two white bread slices are dipped in a typical creamy batter before being deep-fried, smothered in sugar and served with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream."


Tempted?

2. I had a battered, fried Snickers bar once...
You wouldn't think it, but it's delicious.

4. Surprised this didn't come from the US South....
I swear, Southerners will deep fry anything. Deep fried onions, deep fried steak, deep fried okra, deep fried twinkies, deep fried RC cola.....

5. I'll stick with the deep-fried Twinkies.
Deep-Fried Twinkies

For Twinkies:


6 Twinkies

Popsicle sticks

4 cups vegetable oil

Flour for dusting


For batter:


1 cup milk

2 tablespoons vinegar

1 tablespoon oil

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.

Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.

To make batter: Mix together milk, vinegar and oil. In another bowl, blend flour, baking
powder and salt. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth.
Refrigerate while oil heats.

Push stick into Twinkie lengthwise, leaving about 2 inches to use as a handle, dust with
flour and dip into the batter. Rotate Twinkie until batter covers entire cake. Place carefully
in hot oil. The Twinkie will float, so hold it under with a utensil to ensure even browing.
It should turn golden in 3 to 4 minutes. Depending on the size of your deep fryer, you
might be able to fry only one at a time, two at the most.

Remove Twinkie to paper towel and let drain. Remove stick and allow Twinkie to sit for
about 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 6.

Variation: Slice Twinkie into 4 pieces. Flour and batter each before frying. With this
treatment, one Twinkie will serve two people if accompanied by a sauce.
