Keep the Mars bar in the fridge for at least 4 hours before cooking, otherwise the batter doesn't stick properly and cleaning melted mars bar out of a deep-fat fryer is not fun!
The variations on this recipe are endless, I've successfully managed the following
* Creme Egg (watch the centre when you bite into it - HOT)
* Bounty
* Milky Way
* Curly Wurly
* Fudge Bar (not great to be honest)
With a big enough fryer you can even batter a small pizza

Ingredients
- 1 Mars Bar
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/2 cup cornflour
- 1 pinch baking soda
- Beer (you can use milk instead)
Method
- Mix the flour with cornflour and baking soda
- Add the beer until you get a batter about the thickness of single cream
- Heat the oil to 180c (should brown a small piece of bread in a few seconds, if the oil's smoking it's too hot!)
- Unwrap the Mars bar and put into batter
- Roll the Mars bar until it's thoroughly coated with batter (as thick a coat as you can manage)
- Carefully lower into the fryer and fry until golden brown
- Serve immediately
