Oreos vs. Snickers

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.
