Although moving away from cheesecake for a moment, and talking about other things to fry... The father of a friend of mine is a carnie by trade. So, my friend grew up working at a funnel cake stand in the summer. In his adult life, he has professional quality funnel cake equipment in his home. He's done fried Snickers (although I haven't tried it) and one day when talking about the Snickers, actually tried... FRIED CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI ...sooooo yummy, although it sounds scary. The biscotti gets a little soft and warm from the oil and then the crispy outside layer. I have had a bite (good, but all I could have because of the richness) of a fried Twinkie too. And I have hearf that fried Oreos are a big hit too. - O, with arteries clogged
