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 unwrapped Mars Bar or Milky Way in the refrigerator or freezer until it is thoroughly cold and firm, which will help it hold its shape during frying and allow the batter to adhere properly.
30 minutes
2
Combine the flour, egg, milk, and oil or melted fat in a mixing bowl and whisk together until a smooth, lump-free batter forms with a consistency similar to heavy cream.
3 minutes
3
Allow the batter to rest at room temperature so the flour fully hydrates and the mixture thickens slightly.
10 minutes
4
Heat a deep, heavy-bottomed pan or deep fryer with sufficient oil or suet to fully submerge the candy bar, bringing the fat to approximately 375°F (190°C) as measured by a cooking thermometer.
5
Remove the chilled candy bar from the refrigerator and pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any surface moisture, which would otherwise cause the batter to slip off.
6
Dip the candy bar fully into the prepared batter, turning it to ensure complete and even coverage on all sides with no exposed chocolate surface.
7
Carefully lower the battered candy bar into the hot fat using a slotted spoon or tongs, and fry until the exterior is deep golden brown and the batter is cooked through and crisp.
3 minutes
8
Remove the fried bar from the oil and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.
1 minutes
9
Serve immediately while the crust remains crisp and the interior chocolate and caramel filling is warm and molten, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
