Ingredients
- UK or Canadian Mars Bar or 1 US Milky Way Bar1 unit
- 1 cup
- 1 cup
- 1 unit
- oil or fat (use suet for authenticity)1 tablespoon
Method
1
Chill the Mars Bar or Milky Way in the refrigerator or freezer until it is thoroughly firm and cold, which prevents the filling from melting too rapidly during frying.
30 minutes
2
Combine the flour, milk, and egg in a mixing bowl and whisk together until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. Add the tablespoon of oil or melted suet to the batter and whisk to incorporate.
3 minutes
3
Heat your frying fat — vegetable oil or suet — in a deep, heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer to approximately 375°F (190°C), testing the temperature with a thermometer or a small drop of batter.
8 minutes
4
Remove the chilled chocolate bar from the refrigerator and, if desired, dust it lightly with a small amount of flour to help the batter adhere evenly to its surface.
5
Dip the floured chocolate bar completely into the prepared batter, ensuring it is thoroughly and evenly coated on all sides with no exposed sections of the bar.
6
Carefully lower the battered bar into the hot fat using tongs or a slotted spoon, releasing it gently to avoid splashing, and fry until the batter is deep golden brown and crisp.
3 minutes
7
Remove the fried bar from the hot fat and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil for one to two minutes.
2 minutes
8
Serve the Deep Fried Mars Bar immediately while hot, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream, as the molten interior will begin to re-solidify as it cools.
