PrintDeep Fried Oreos
Wondering how many of you were fortunate/unfortunate enough to try deep fried oreos. In Pt. Pleasant, NJ, there's a shop on the boardwalk that makes these. An order consists of 3, but you only need 1. They hit your stomach like a brick but taste pretty awesome. I've also been made aware that they have deep fried twinkies (if you can imagine such a thing). These are definitely a way to grow a pot belly fast. I'm a serious health nut, but they're something you definitely should try. I'm pretty sure they're only available in the summertime though.

I'll pass. There's enough grease in an Oreo straight out of the bag. I'll also skip the deep fried Twinkies, candy bars and pickles.
I save my fat grams for corn dogs and strawberry funnel cakes. Oh, and those mini donuts! Those machines fascinate me! Besides, who doesn't like a hot donut?

OMG! I love corn dogs! but they have to be straight from the dingy trailer-kitchen at a fair. Those store bought ones mean nothing to me!

Hmmm... It would seem that one cannot make a "less than 3" heart in this comment system.
It was meant to read, "Awww, norman! I think I *heart* you, too! (Not only that, but we have crinkle cut fries in common.)

Was planning on it this year, but it rained the whole week. Will definitely get an order this year on my way to buying taffy. I *heart* the Jersey Shore!

Yum. I haven't tried deep-fried Oreos, but I count deep-fried Snickers and deep-fried Twinkies among my favorite decadent treats. You could deep-fry brocolli and I'd eat it. (Well, maybe not...)

Deep fried oreos??!! Oh my, I sense a heart attack thinking of it. I need more info...Are they battered, or do they just toss the oreo right in the deep fryer? Are these really that good?

I actually worked for a funnel cake stand at a bunch of different festivals last summer. We sold "Oreo Puffs" - our standard description was "Oreos dipped in the funnel cake batter & fried, they taste kind of like a devils food cake." They are really good. The cookie part gets soft and the outside is crispy. They'd get a dusting of powdered sugar on top and handed to the customers with a warning to wait a couple of minutes before biting in, because the insides were pretty hot.
jdroth - ever have vegetable tempura? :)

I've had them a few times, at RUB in Manhattan—super tasty! segalbraith describes them perfectly. I like them a lot, but you can't have more than one or two.

Sorry. Yes, they dip them in funnell cake batter first, then drop in the deep fryer.

Whoa! Deep fried snickers? Are you serious! That's insane, lol

There are a few places in NYC that have deep fried Oreos. I've also seen deep fried Mars bars.
