Oddly enough, my review of Deep Fried Snickers is one of the most visited pages here on Candy Addict. Recently, the topic of fried candy bars came up in discussion in the candyswappers group. Sarah had this to say:
If you’re a New Yorker, there’s the always wonderful Chip Shop in Park Slope. They deep fry lots of candy–and an Atkins bar. I think you can even take them your candy bar of choice if they don’t have it and they’ll fry it up for you. Either way, they’ve got Mars bars:

Poking around on their site, they do indeed fry Atkins bars “(Double battered w/extra sugar if you want)”. The other fried items include: Mars Bar, Bounty (a British version of Mounds, not the paper towel), Twinkies, Twix, Snickers, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. So, if you’re ever in NYC and need a heart attack on a stick, stop by the ChipShop.
Are they deep frying Mars bars from the UK? That would be like our Milky Way … or are all their graphic outdated and it’s a Snickers Almond Bar?
RESPONSE: I’m pretty sure it’s British – Mars is British and so is Bounty.

Ooh, now I have to find my way over to Brooklyn when I hit NYC this November. Not only are they (hopefully) an authentic chipper but they fry Twinkies and candy bars! I am so very there.
They brought these one year to the California State Fair. Zowee. I couldn’t finish it without drooling. HA and you think Im kidding!
Hey I love your site.
Do you know of a place in nyc that makes hard candies?
I know its in tribeca.
I heard it on regis and kelly and she was talking about that they make candy rings and jewelry.
Please let me know.
Thanks Claudia
