Deep Fried Snickers and Twinkies

I admit I like sweets as well as anyone, but these are over the top with a certain sweetness, that even I say is somewhat too much. Recipes for these both are about the same on every website. Some variations in toppings, etc... You can find the basic recipe @friedtwinkies.com it is also their book site. I actually enjoyed a deep fried Snickers Bar several months ago, topped with vanilla ice cream and a very rich chocolate sauce. Even too much sugar for me! But very, very tasty! Didn't finish the dessert, but I wanted to see what everyone was talking about. Quite trendy and not too bad on the price, and worth the amount of fun involved. Not sure the Twinkie Diet is for me, but it makes a good read and lots of great comments on a winter day... A little something to look forward to in life!

Deep fried Snickers Bar

Okay, I know this is supposed to be on Simple Living, but I couldn't resist the temptation. I had viewed the process of frying all different types of food on the food network. Never actually seen them for sale anywhere. Well, today, you guessed it I finally tasted the delectable treat of a fried Snickers bar topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. Truly sensational! different yes, but very good and interesting at the same time. Probably at least a thousand calories! My daughter and I split one serving at a local restaurant. It was enough for two! They also served batter dipped Twinkies and Oreos.... But it was the Snickers that were for us! When you can be sure and try this fancy dessert at your favorite trendy restaurant or hometown eatery. Remember life is the journey along the way, and eating good, delicious food and desserts is the best part of the journey! Always live simple!
