Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together first 6 ingredients. In another bowl, whisk together egg, water, milk and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  2. In a deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Dip candy bars, a few at a time, into batter; fry until golden brown, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Insert skewers into bars. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar.
