o o O OH Oreos!

While trying a new burger joint in town last week (Schnabs... blog review to follow) Jess and I noted deep fried oreos and twinkies on their menu. When we went back to order then after finishing our dinners the line was too long and we said forget it. Begin craving. So, when we decided to have a night full of fried goodness last night, an attempt at deep fried oreos had to be made. The result: fluffy, warm, deep fried oreo goodness. Perfect ending to the night when you've already got your oil hot from the deep fried mac n cheese!

Deep Fried Oreos

- oreos

- pancake mix

- water

- schmatherings of your choice

Pour some pancake mix into a bowel, about a 1/2 cup will do. Add water little by little and stir until the pancake mix is thicker rather than thinner (about the consistency of yogurt). Dip oreos into batter with a fork and transfer them to oil. Fry at 325-350 degrees until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite schmatherings... we used whipped cream and chocolate sauce, but thought they'd be REALLY good with vanilla ice cream. They def. need some form of whipped cream or ice cream to balance out the richness. Repeat above process with any of your favorite desert treats: twinkies, candy bars, etc! And you thought desert couldn't be any unhealthier than it already was ;-)
