These Deep Fried Cadbury Caramel Eggs are chocolate caramel eggs dipped in funnel cake batter and then deep fried until golden brown.

If you are a fan of LOST, let me just say that contrary to popular belief, I am not the black smoke.

I am not spreading evil throughout the world.

I’m just spreading it to your tummy. 😛

So many a person wrote that they wanted to know when would I be making a Cadbury Caramel Egg cupcake like I did with the Crème Egg.

And though it was tempting, I just didn’t want to make the same kind of thing again.

One of my fellow Seattle area food bloggers, Lara of Cook and Eat, wrote a doughnut book.

She was all happy that it was pre-listed on Amazon.com (as she should be) and it got me thinking about deep fried things.

The British love to deep fry stuff. One of my favorite treats at the pub are things called Scotch Eggs.

They are hard boiled eggs, wrapped in sausage meat, breaded and then deep fried.

They may sound odd but boy are they good.

And after a few pints, they are really good.

These Deep Fried Cadbury Caramel Eggs are crossbreed between the idea of the doughnut and the Scotch Egg.

There is not much to these.

Just some funnel cake batter that I make with brown sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup instead of granulated sugar.

And well, some frozen Caramel Eggs.

They held up quite nicely.

Even the ones that didn’t get fully coated in the batter.

I also experimented with the milk chocolate covered Peeps.

Which sadly did not turn out as well.

These are about as good as you would expect.

I mean, doughnut batter wrapped around oozy milk chocolate and caramel.

Okay, on second thought, maybe I am the black smoke.

Hmmm.

Now that would be a LOST plot twist. 😉

And last but not least it’s a great day to buy my cookbook.

Deep Fried Cadbury Caramel Eggs

Ingredients

  • 6-8 Cadbury Caramel Eggs (frozen)
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 TBSP dark brown sugar
  • 1 TBSP Lyle's Golden Syrup
  • 1 ¼  cup flour
  • ¼  tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. In a deep skillet, heat about four cups of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Test the temperature by dropping a pinch of flour into the hot oil. If it sizzles right away without smoking, it's perfect.
  3. Beat egg and milk. Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl and slowly add to the egg mixture, beating until smooth.
  4. Dip frozen Caramel Eggs into batter.
  5. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, remove from the oil when golden brown and crispy and place on paper towel to get excess oil.
  6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.

  8. Oh Good Lord you evil woman! Seriously, right to my thighs. It doesn’t help that I just made a note to “figure out what to do with the six bottles of Lyle’s Golden Syrup” I got off Amazon.

  13. OMG!!!! I have been stalking your blog for a little while (great considering I am supposed to be following Weight Watchers!!) I am definitely going to try these egg donuts – Cadbury features heavily at Easter here in Australia. Thanks for the inspiration (as well as the key lime cupcakes, I just look at those and drool!)

  22. I think you’ve given birth to something here (ok, bad pun). These should be sold at every country fairground in the world! They should be called Evil Stinkbombs so that I won’t want to buy them.

  26. Honestly, I am so bored with LOST right now but I feel obligated to watch it till the end because I’ve invested in the previous seasons. At this point I would really welcome your twist 🙂

  32. LOL “it’s not swimsuit season yet”. Those look incredible. Like-drive-to-the-store-and-buy-the-ingredients-right-this-second incredible!

  33. Between these and the cupcakes Cadbury should at least consider sending you a nice Easter basket full of eggs! Everything looks so yummy!

  34. I don’t, for one minute, beleive your ever BAD. If eating good food, even when you should not, makes you bad I am standing right beside you.

  36. I must say, you are my new hero! I like to fry just about anything, mac and cheese, brownies (ball up brownies around 60%cacao dark chocolate chunks… Yumm!) But these eggs look fantastic. Congrats for taking fried desserts to a new fabulous level!

  53. I can’t believe how amazing these look! You could set up a stand at your next local fair and make a mint on these!!! Wonderful pictures!

  56. The caramel centre has the Peabody signature!
    It’s funny you should mention the Scotch egg as your evil inspiration. The deep fried Mars Bar is another favourite Scottish treat. I personally found it OTT…but you might like it, Mikey!
    Happy Easter Pea!

  59. it’s actually the SCOTTISH that like to deep-fry things… marsbars and the like… i was horrified to find deep-fried toast at a popular sunday breakfast venue – it was the ONLY bread they offered… not good. if i want to pile on pounds, then i’d rather do it with your fried caramel eggs 😉
