  • 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.

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.
