Deep-Fried Mars Bars with French Fries
I'm a big fan of GBS cooking threads. I think they are pretty awesome, and lets goons teach each other a thing or two about foreign dishes and such. I like eating, so I thought to myself - why not make my *own* cooking thread?

Method
1
Place the Mars bars in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until firm. This helps them hold their shape during frying.
30 minutes
2
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the batter by combining flour with enough cold water (or milk) to achieve a smooth, thick consistency similar to pancake batter. Whisk until no lumps remain.
5 minutes
3
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature before frying.
10 minutes
4
While the oil heats, peel and cut potatoes into even french fry strips approximately 1 cm thick. Soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry.
15 minutes
5
Fry the potato strips in batches in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and season with salt.
10 minutes
6
Remove the chilled Mars bars from the freezer and coat each one thoroughly in the prepared batter, ensuring complete coverage with no gaps.

7
Carefully lower the battered Mars bars into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning gently, until the batter is golden brown and crisp on all sides.

Remove the fried Mars bars with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels. Serve immediately alongside the french fries while the chocolate interior is warm and melted.
