Deep Fried Choco-Caramel Bites

What you need:

  • 2 full size chocolate-covered, caramel / nougat-filled candy bars (such as Snickers), chilled
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda

In a shallow bowl, combine all-purpose flour, corn flour and baking soda then carefully add milk to create a thin batter. The batter should still be able to stick to the candy bars and not drip off. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350F. Dip candy bars in the batter to coat then deep fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into bit-size pieces.

Fried Cinnamon Fruit Pie

What you need:

  • 1 package frozen prepared pie crusts, thawed and cut into 6 4-inch squares
  • 1 1/2 cups dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Place apricot in a saucepan then add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer until apricots are tender, about 30 minutes. Reserve tables of the liquid and discard the rest. Place apricot and reserved liquid in a blender and pulse until smooth. Add in white sugar, butter and cinnamon and pulse again until all ingredients are well-blended. Place 1 tablespoon of apricot mixture in each pie crust square and fold each in half diagonally. Press edges with a fork to seal. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pan and cook triangles until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to serving plate and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar before serving.

Healthy Fried Plantains

What you need:

  • 4 cups oil for frying
  • 2 ripe plantains
  • Brown sugar

Peel plantains, slice in half then slice each half lengthwise into thin pieces. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet then fry plantain pieces until browned and tender. Place fried plantains on paper towels and sprinkle with brown sugar before serving.
