Deep Fried Oreos

Deep Fried Oreos are my favorite little indulgence every time we go to the fair. They are crispy on the outside, soft and gooey in the middle, and the ultimate "treat-yourself" treat!

Notes

Don’t Overcrowd the Pot - Fry just a few Oreos at a time. If you add too many, the oil temperature will drop and they’ll absorb more oil, making them soggy instead of crispy.
Troubleshooting: If your Oreos are having a tough time staying together in the fryer, try thickening the batter more or freezing the Oreos for 15-30 minutes to allow them to cool and harden. 
Serving ideas: Try these with one of our Dessert Dipping Sauces (chocolate, raspberry and caramel), Chocolate Fondue, Cheesecake Fondue, or our Hot Fudge Sauce. You can also try dipping them in our Fresh Strawberry Jam or Strawberry Syrup.
