State Fair Deep Fried Candy Bars

August 4, 2020 By Shanna Leave a Comment

I remember when deep fried bars came to the Minnesota State Fair for the first time. The lines were crazy! We are talking lines that were several blocks long just waiting for a chance to try a deep-fried candy bar.  It was like that for the first few years deep fried candy bars were at the Minnesota State Fair. So it was a must to have this fair favorite food in our series.

To make your own State Fair Deep Fried Candy Bars you will need the following –

1 1/2 C All-Purpose Flour
4 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1 TBSP Sugar
1 TBSP Brown Sugar
1/8 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 large Egg
1/2 C Water
1/2 C Milk
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Fun Size Candy Bars
Powdered Sugar
Oil
Deep Fryer

I know that list of ingredients looks daunting but don’t let it scare you off. It’s really a fairly simple recipe.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, brown sugar, salt and ground cinnamon.

In another bowl, combine the egg, water, milk, and vanilla extract.

Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the liquid ones until you have a smooth batter.

Pour the oil in your deep fryer and set to 375. Or if you are using a large pot heat over medium to high heat until you reach an oil temperature of 375.

Take a plate and line with paper towels and set next to you oil. You are going to place your finished candy bars there after frying them. The paper towels will help absorb any excess oil.

Coat the fun size candy bars in the batter. Be sure to shake off any excess batter. Gently place in heated oil.

Fry for about a minute per side until the batter has turned a golden brown.

Remove from oil and place on the paper towels to cool.

Dust with a coating of powdered sugar and enjoy!
