Deep-fried Mars bars are A) very sweet and B) very VERY sticky.
It was an experience, and not a bad one either, but definitely not one I think I’ll repeat any time soon. I think there’s still some of it in the back of my mouth a day later after brushing my teeth twice. Seriously, it’s like the dessert equivalent of eating a bucket of tar.
EDIT TO ADD: Since people keep asking: the Duke of Gloucester, on Yonge south of Bloor.

Why did you have a deep-friend Mars bar, precisely? Did you pay a visit to Scotland or something?
I haven’t tried one myself, but maybe I should at least once. My local chipper probably makes them, so the opportunity is always round the corner.
I lack a better answer than “because it was there.”
The best, IMO, is a deep fried Bounty Bar. The cocunut meshes well with the frying.
The worst is a Crunchie Bar, exactly because the honeycomb doesnt take well to the fryer
Deep fried mars bars. An experience everyone should have. Once. Much like going to a strip club.
Maybe the fried-Mars Bar is the source of Grant Morrison’s mysterious powers?
where did you get a deep fried mars bar in toronto??
That’s fucking terrifying. But delicious, I’m sure. I have a friend who’s trying to convince himself to try the cheeseburger-with-two-Krispy-Kreme-buns monstrosity that he claims he saw on an actual menu.
Does this involve some sort of batter, or do the bars go naked into the Fryolator?
They’re battered, fried, and served with ice cream.
With ice cream? My disgust is instantly transformed into interest…
I live near a fish-n-chip shop run by some British immigrants, and not only is the Mars bar on the menu, they will literally deep-fry anything you bring them. It’s horrifying and makes you feel sick, but is also just plain amazing.
My local chippie will also fry anything for a price (provided you eat it outside if it’s particularly disgusting). Mind you, I live in Glasgow. We’d deep-fry our water supply if we could.
I’ve had deep fried raspberry ripple ice cream. It wasn’t too bad. The worst I ever saw were the deep-fried Cadburys’ chocolate buttons. Or possibly the deep fried Rice Krispie Square (like the Crunchie, it absorbed the fat to a horrifying degree).
They tried deep frying some cooked pasta once, but the batter just kind of slid off the surface of it.
Deep-fried green tea ice cream is a popular dessert at several local Japanese restaurants. (The secret is to freeze the ice cream extra super solid before battering it and committing it to the oil.)
