Ok, I know that deep fried Twinkies are not candy bars but I did have candy today. I started the Premium M&M's that I will review tomorrow. Deep fried Twinkiea apparently originated in Brooklyn, New Your at a place called the ChipShop. The British chef used the same batter as on his Fish and Chips. This is now a cult favorite and was on the Food Network Special I was watching.
So after freezing the Twinkies, making the batter, flouring and dipping them and finally deep frying them at 375 degrees for four minutes they were ready. The recipe I used had vinegar in it as for Fish and chips. Unfortunately we ate them so fast I didn't get a picture this time but I will soon when I deep Fry a Snickers and Milky Way bar.
Appearance: They look like short fat little Corn Dogs with the stick coming out of them.
Aroma: Fried Goodness with a hint of Twinkies.
Texture/Flavor: Nice crunchy outside with a hint of oil. The inside is hot and very soft and easy to chew. The miraculous thing when deep frying a Twinkie is that the creme middle vanishes and is absorbed into the sponge cake. Wow was I surprised! The cake becomes super moist, incredibly soft and tastes of vanilla. This turns an average tasting Twinkie and makes it amazing.
Calories: Only God knows but definitely quite a bit.
Rating: A
Comments: My favorite topping was whipped creme but the raspberry preserves and caramel topping were very good. Wow, what have I been missing at the state fairs! I can't wait to try them again and to one day go to the ChipShop in New York where you can have anything you want deep fried.
