Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, plus extra for coating bowl and hands
- 1 tablespoon water
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring, optional

Directions:

Continue cooking without stirring for another 10 minutes, or until the syrup reaches the hard-crack stage—300ºF on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove from heat, add vanilla extract and food coloring and mix well.

Once mixture is cool enough to handle, coat hands with butter and form 2 ½-inch balls. Place on tray lined with either wax or parchment paper until ready to serve, or, wrap in cellophane.
Fair Favorites: Deep Fried Candy Bars
1 egg1 C. milk
1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil
1 C. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
a pinch of salt
1. Combine egg, milk and vegetable oil in a cup. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well with a whisk. Cover and chill for a few minutes as you heat the oil.
2. Use a chocolate covered candy bar for best results and make sure that it is chilled, some bars work better if frozen (Mars is the “traditional” bar but Snickers, Almond Joy, and even Twix and Kit Kat will work.) After the candy bars are chilled and cut remove the batter form the refrigerator and adjust the consistency if necessary.
3. Heat about 4cups of oil or shortening in a medium skillet to 385 F. Drop the chilled candy bar in the batter and gently place into the oil. Cook only until the outside is golden. Remove and drain on brown paper. Allow to cool a minute, the inside can easily burn your mouth
