Deep Fried Mars Bar

Of course no Scotsman’s cookbook could be complete without the artery blocking
recipe that is the deep fried Mars Bar. The recipe of course can be varied by using
different chocolate bars, with seasonal variations of Cream Egg at Easter, Hershey
Bars for that Super bowl party or Milk Tray for that extra special Valentines Day
meal. This is one of the most versatile recipes being able to be served as starter,
main or dessert, or all three if you are particularly brave.
