Chill the Chocolate Bar:
Start by chilling the chocolate bar in the fridge, ensuring it’s cold but not frozen. This step helps the chocolate maintain its shape during frying. -
Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, and baking soda. Stir until well mixed. Then, gradually add milk or beer, depending on your preference. Continue mixing until you achieve a smooth batter with the consistency of thin cream. Adjust the liquid accordingly for the desired consistency. -
Heat the Oil:
In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil until it reaches the right temperature. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil. It should brown within a few seconds without smoking. -
Coat the Chocolate Bar:
Remove the wrapper from the chilled Mars bar. Carefully coat the chocolate bar completely in the prepared batter, ensuring it’s evenly covered on all sides. -
Fry the Mars Bar:
Carefully lower the coated chocolate bar into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry until the batter turns golden brown and crispy, and the chocolate inside starts to melt slightly. This usually takes a few minutes, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once golden and crispy, remove the deep-fried Mars bar from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately while still warm, accompanied by a scoop of ice cream or even some french fries for a unique twist. Indulge in this decadent treat and enjoy every delicious bite!
Tips:
- For a lighter batter, use beer instead of milk.
- Be cautious when frying to avoid burns from hot oil.
- Experiment with different chocolate bars for unique flavor combinations.
- Enjoy your Deep Fried Mars Bars as an occasional indulgence, given their high calorie and sugar content.
