The Two Cake Ladies tried our very first deep fried snickers and deep fried oreo today. I must have been living in a cave because I've heard of these fried pieces of joy, but I've never eaten them. While I, Cake Lady #1, enjoyed the molten chocolate of the deep fried snickers, Cake Lady #2 preferred the oreo.
How to describe them? The snickers was on a stick and resembled a corn dog. The chocolate had turned in to a pool of chocolate that mingled perfectly with the caramel and the nuts added much needed texture. The crunchy fried outside is one of the best parts of any deep fried delicacy. This was gooey, sweet, covered in powdered sugar and on a stick!
The oreos were covered in a melted chocolate sauce and powdered sugar. They kept their shape and I think deep frying them cut the sweetness factor in half. I expected the filling inside the cookie to turn into a liquefied sweet sticky goo, but it also maintained its structure which was disappointing.

Chocolate
Welcome to the official start of my FOOD related blog! I've blogged before, but I recently decided on regularly updating this site. It came to me after I downed three huge squares of Red Hot Chili Pepper dark chocolate! I said to myself; "Cake Lady #1, you should really start blogging about your experiences with food" and thus the start of a regular food blog from One of the Two Cake Ladies.
The other day I stopped by Target and found myself in the gourmet chocolate aisle, which is a place I often find myself. I always say I don't really care for chocolate, but the next thing I know I have a chocolate bar in hand! This particular day I picked up a White Chocolate Lemon Lime bar made by Frey. Who knew that chocolate infused with specs of zesty citrus pieces could be so savory? Frey is also the maker of the Red Hot Chili Pepper bar I spoke of earlier. It got me thinking; how wonderful would it be to take some chili infused chocolate and make a spicy chocolate mousse? It would make a great filling for cupcakes....just a little dollop in the middle and POW!
