Deep Fried Oreos: Food Porn

Nabisco makes more than a dozen varieties of Oreo cookies, not including the ones that have their fillings dyed for each holiday, in addition to 4 Oreo ice creams and 8 other Oreo-related products. They do not sell what is rapidly becoming one of the most popular types of Oreo, albeit the unhealthiest: deep fried Oreo's.

A popular fair and carnival food, just like the deep fried Snickers bars, it involves dipping an Oreo into a thick batter and popping it into a sizzling hot pot of oil. When pulled out, hot and crispy, they are topped with powdered sugar and served. According to many, they are delicious and more easily justifiable than a Snicker's due to their relatively small size. One blogger described them : "The Oreo loses it's hard crunchy texture and becomes a warm chocolately cake delight. The creamy center melts and creates an inner glaze." Should you want to risk the health hazards of deep-fried foods for the delights of one of these treats, you can find instructions both here and here.

They sure sound good, if I didn't have a heart condition I sure would try them, I will tell some friends that are into new ideas and hope that I can try one anyways. It seems like a recipe that should be consumed warm.this ain't quite food porn but I make Icecream sandwiches with archway lemon cookies, you could probably use any lemon cookie.They used to make an Orange cookie but i can't find them any more, it was like having a rich creamsicle

It is a Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, and it has more chocolate than anything I've ever had. I got them at the Florida State Fair, and then I ordered them online @ thecoopie.com, there awesome.
