whisk or hand mixer
slotted spoon or other slotted utensil
Ingredients
1cupBisquick pancake mix
½cup milk
2tbsp vegetable oil
1egg
12miniSnickers or 6 full size Snickers
Optionalbamboo skewers
Oilfor frying
Instructions
Fill a heavy bottom pot 5-6 inches deep with vegetable oil. Use an oil or candy thermometer in the oil to monitor the temperature. Bring oil to 375°F.
Add pancake mix, milk, vegetable oil and egg to a mixing bowl.
Whisk until most of the lumps are gone. Batter should be thick enough to coat your Snickers without the batter running off. Add more mix if the batter is too runny or more milk if it is too thick. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.
Optional: Put a skewer in the Snickers.
Coat Snickers in your batter.
Shake gently to remove excess batter.
Gently place battered Snickers into the hot oil. Use a utensil to keep it under the oil if it bobs to the top.
Remove Snickers from oil when it is a deep golden color. Place on a wire rack covered in paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Alllow to cool for 5-10 minutes, then eat while warm.
Notes
If your oil is too cold your Snickers will absorb too much oil into the batter. If the oil is too hot your Snickers will burn on the outside. Deep fried Snickers are best eaten right after you deep fry them while the insides are warm and gooey. Try using bite sized Snickers for another fun option. This recipe can be used with with any of your favorite candy bars.
