Fried Oreos

Okay. I know that fried food is sooooo bad for you. Especially when the food you are deep frying is already unhealthy. BUT. If you are looking for a sleepover snack, or wanting to blow some calories on something that tastes amazing but will surely kill you if eaten excessively, I highly recommend these.

I saw the contestants on America's Next Top Model make them and I wanted to try it out, so I made these several months ago with friends, and am just getting around to posting about them.

what you'll need:

oreos, twinkies, snickers, milkey way, etc...
pancake batter (use whatever recipe you want)
vegetable oil (amount dependent on how much you are making- which is your personal choice)

The process:

1) make pancake batter

2) put vegetable oil into a pot or skillet with high sides so that anything you fry will be completely covered in oil. Heat it up until it is hot but not hot enough to spurt onto you and injure you...

3) completely coat your oreo in pancake batter and delicately put the coated oreo into the heated oil. Be careful because the oil will burn you and it will hurt. let the batter cook until slightly brown and remove using a spatula or similar utensil. The dough should be fully cooked.

4) put the oreo somewhere that it will cool down (we put some paper towel on a plate and then used the paper towel to soak up excess oil.)

5) let cool and enjoy!

note: we also tried this with fun-sized snickers and milkey way bars. Those were great. The chocolate melts and its all gooey and yummy. I think the oreos are the best though because the cream is all melty and the cookie gets really soft. WAY good. ;-)

note number 2: My friends and I made this recipe up, we googled possible ways to fry things and then just figured it out on our own.
