Invented in Scotland, this dish has now become famous worldwide. It is an excellent source of fat, sugar and calories. For a seasonal variation you could also try deep frying a Cadbury's Creme Egg.

These were awesome! I like mars bars and I like deep fried things, so I figured they would be great when combined - I wasn't disappointed. I made 3 tonight to share with the family, which they all enjoyed but thought was pretty weird. I fried them in canola oil at around 360-400 degrees Fahrenheit until they were golden, this seemed to work out well. I have enough batter to make a few more at a later date if I feel inclined to (it might be worth scaling the recipe down if you only want 1 or 2).

    I had this for the first time in Gippsland Melbourne, and the lady sprinkled cinnamon sugar on it, which made it so much more delicious (but sweeter of course). Don't use icing sugar.

    Whew! I'm glad I had 30 minitues alone to do this. Was just as delish as the one I had while tralveing in the U.K. Now I have the recipe! Yay! I ate the whole sinful thing all by myself, cleaned up, and opened all the windows so no one would smell it when they came home and asked what was cooking. I will of course be making this again - when I am alone that it. This is a selfish recipe - I recomend making this when you are alone so you don't have to share it!!!!!!

    MMMMMMMMM! Sinfully delish!!! We are unfortunately addicted to these now. We also tried this with Oreos (very tasty) Reeses Cups (so-so) and York Peppermint Patties (not so good). Next we will try Snickers and 3 Muskateers. Milky Way is by far the best. I had seen a Food Network show (Top Five) that had a segment on these and I had been craving ever since then, and this recipe satisfied that craving ten-fold. Thanks for sharing!!! Now if I could only find a copycat recipe for Chili's Chicken Crispers, I could die happy!!
