How to Make Deep-Fried Snickers® in 5 Easy Steps

Creating this crispy, chocolatey treat at home is easier than you think. Follow these five easy steps to fry up the perfect Snickers bar.

1. Freeze the Snickers Bars

• Place the Snickers bars in the freezer for at least 1 hour before frying.

• This prevents the chocolate from melting too fast inside the hot batter.

2. Prepare the Batter

• Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, milk, and egg in a mixing bowl.

• Whisk until smooth and lump-free.

• The batter should be thick enough to fully coat the Snickers but light enough to fry up crispy.

3. Heat the Oil to the Perfect Temperature

• Pour about 3 to 4 cups of oil into a deep fryer or a sturdy pot.

• Heat it to 350-375°F (175-190°C) for a crispy, golden texture.

Tip: Don’t have a thermometer? Drop a little batter into the oil—if it sizzles and rises to the top, it’s ready!

4. Dip, Fry, and Watch the Magic Happen

• Fully coat each frozen Snickers® bar in the batter.

• Gently place them in the heated oil and cook for 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown.

• Once done, take them out of the oil and lay them on the paper towel-lined plate so they can soak up any leftover grease.

5. Drain & Serve Immediately

• Serve warm with powdered sugar, caramel drizzle, or a spoon of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do you have to freeze the Snickers bars before frying?

Freezing the candy bars for at least 1–2 hours (or overnight) ensures that the chocolate and nougat don’t melt completely and leak out through the batter when they hit the hot oil. This maintains the bar’s shape while creating a gooey center.

2. Can I make deep-fried Snickers without a deep fryer?

Yes! You can use a heavy-bottomed pot, Dutch oven, or a deep skillet. Ensure you use enough oil (3–4 inches) to fully submerge the bars and use a thermometer to maintain a temperature between 350°F and 375°F.

3. Can you air fry a Snickers bar?

While you can "air fry" candy bars, it typically requires wrapping them in dough (like crescent rolls or egg roll wrappers) rather than a wet batter. A liquid batter will simply drip through the air fryer basket and won't crisp up correctly.

4. What is the best oil for deep-frying candy bars?

High-smoke point oils are best for achieving a crispy texture without burning. Vegetable, canola, and peanut oil are the most recommended choices for this recipe.

5. How do you store and reheat leftover fried Snickers?

Deep-fried Snickers are best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. To revive the crispiness, reheat them in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes; do not microwave them as they will become soggy.
