Salt	1 oz	30 g	2.1 %

Baking Powder	5 ml (1 tsp)	4 g	0.3 %

Method:

• Cover and rest for 30 minutes.

• Add the baking powder to the mixture and mix until incorporated.

Assembly

Method:

• Preheat a deep fryer, or a saucepan with vegetable oil, to 400°F.

• Poke the end of a pretzel rod into the candy bars, and dip the candy into the batter mixture.

• Immediately after removing the candy from the batter mixture, submerge the candy into the hot oil, using the pretzel stick as a handle.

• Fry the candy until golden brown, about 30 – 45 seconds.


• Remove and place on a paper towel to dry.

• Dust with powdered sugar, and arrange on a plate. (For demonstration purposes, three candies were used, plated standing straight up).

• Garnish the plate as desired, preferably with fresh fruit and mint.

• Serve while still warm and “gooey” inside.
