Deep Fried Mars Bars are a beloved Scottish snack that originated in the seaside town of Stonehaven in the early 1990s. Since then, they have become a popular indulgence around the world. The recipe is simple - freeze a Mars bar, coat it in batter, and deep fry until crispy and golden.

7.	Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
8.	Serve while still warm and crispy.
