Deep Fried Candy BarsHomemade Scottish Deep Fried Mars BarsYou simply must try a deep fried candy bars recipe and see what all the fuss is about. Deep fried Mars bars originated in Scotland where they are considered a novelty treat. You'll find them being sold in takeaway fish and chips shops in Edinburgh and Glasgow and other places throughout the country.Deep fried Snickers bars and Bounty bars are also available, but battered and fried Mars chocolate bars tend to be the favorite. My wife and I visited the ClamShell fish and chips shop while sightseeing in Edinburgh, and we ordered Mars bars fried in batter. It was fascinating to watch the friendly staff batter the bars after slipping them out of their distinctive red and black wrappers, and fry them to perfection. 
What do they taste like? Amazingly sweet and tremendously filling! Deep frying seems to add to the sweetness of the chocolate bar. It was a tasty, crispy treat, but one serving was all I could manage. I ate it around 1:30 pm, and I wasn't hungry again until the next day. It will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth! Deep fried candy bars are not the only fried foods that the Scots love to eat. At some chip shops cheeseburgers, pre baked pizzas, haggis puddings, black puddings, pineapple rings, bananas, ice cream, and even pickled eggs are dipped in fish batter and deep fried to a golden delicacy. Are you hungry yet? The ClamShell, Edinburgh
The ClamShell takeaway is at 148 High Street on the Royal Mile, just a few doors east from St. Giles' Cathedral. Be sure to visit it when you're in Edinburgh. A "Battered Mars Bar" costs only £1.70 at the time of writing. I heard the battered fish with chips & mushy peas is excellent at the ClamShell. And I mean to try their "Braveheart Pizza" (cheese, tomato, haggis & onion) or the "Haggis With Chips" when next in Edinburgh. These young ladies (unknown to us) are clearly enjoying their fried Mars bars at the ClamShell on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. Deep Fried Candy Bar RecipeA Mars bar or the chocolate bar of your choice may be fried in the same kind batter used for frying fish and onion rings. It's recommended that you first chill the bar in the refrigerator, but don't freeze it. After choosing one of the fish batter recipes given below, mix the batter until it's creamy smooth and heat the oil to around 360°F (180°C).Coat the chilled chocolate bar completely in the batter, then carefully lower it into the hot oil and fry until the batter is a deeply golden brown in color. It takes a few minutes. Briefly allow the deep fried candy bars to cool on a wire rack, then serve as is or with ice cream or whipped cream on top. Be careful, as the melted bar inside is very hot! Old Time Fish And Chip Batter Recipe4 ounces plain flour (1/2 cup), 1/4 pint (1/2 cup) of warm water, 3 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, 1 lightly beaten egg white.Sift the flour into a basin, make a well in the center and into this pour the olive oil; mix well, and add the salt, then slowly add the warm water, stirring constantly until the consistency of thick cream is obtained. Allow to stand for 2 hours or thereabouts, then stir in the lightly beaten egg white, and use as a coating for fish, or for fruits. Contemporary Recipe For Batter2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 egg beaten, 1-1/2 cups water. Pour ingredients into bowl and mix or whisk to make a smooth batter. Try adding a wee pinch of baking soda or vinegar if you prefer a lighter batter. This makes a simple water and flour batter for deep frying.
