Let me just begin by saying… Don’t try this at home.
There is a good chance I’ll lose much of my readership for the battered and deep-fried adventure I’m about to share. Calm yourselves. It was all in good fun. For all intents and purposes, it is a lesson in what not to do. So sit back and take notes, America, because this is why you’re fat…
First, some background… Last week Stew had a party. Everyone at his party brought Little Debbie snack cakes. Adam was one of those people. He suggested we do something with the mountain of leftover snack cakes. I suggested we deep fry them (truly not expecting it would really happen). Of course, Adam actually has a deep fryer. So this happened:
If you want to gain weight, clog your arteries and most likely burn your mouth, this is how you deep fry snack cakes.
1. Dust with flour
2. Dip in batter
3. Drop in fryer
4. Eat (but really… please, don’t eat)
We made a deep-fried oatmeal cream pie, Rice Krispie Treat, Hostess cupcake, standard vanilla sandwich cookies and an Eggo waffle.
The standard vanilla sandwich cookie was by far the most popular.
And the Rice Krispie Treat was an epic fail.
I tried a little of each and didn’t think they were terrible but didn’t think they were amazing enough to actually ever eat.
The guys were pretty pleased but also not blown away.
We closed out the night with a casserole of death made of Rice Krispie Treats, leftover batter, oatmeal cream pies, and caramel sauce that baked while we watched the season finale of The Hills. Yeah, I had my fun too.
It was terrible.
So that, my friends, was deep-fried Guyday. It was great fun and I don’t think anyone ate enough of the goods to want to die this morning. All in moderation?
Adam’s house is like a McDonald’s Playplace for grown men. It’s full of musical instruments, TV and movie collectibles, piles of CDs, DVDs, etc. But I managed to find a Vanity Fair (what?) and “made” them watch The Hills with me.
Oh, and Adam gave me a deep fryer.
If you feel so inclined, watch the Eggo taste test in action.
I did this once! It was fun to switch up. I deep fried sweet potatoes, avocado, pickles, oreos and broccoli. It was actually pretty good! The avocado was REALLY good!
ooh yes, guy fieri did deep fried stuffed avocado once. blow my mind…
isn’t it ironic how this one is next to the “obesity is expensive” post? whoops…
you know how i love oatmeal cream pies
I have a deep fried hangover. Deep fried avocado sounds amazing. Seriously.
Holy cow bells! I want a deep fried vanilla sandwich cookie. O_O Must ask Santa this year to send me a deep fryer.

Ha! Oh my.
You guys know Scott Hoffman! He’s one of my fave friends.
yeah! he lives with adam who works with us…
Ha! Oh my. You guys know Scott Hoffman! Hes one of my fave friends.
That looks amazingly delicious and Adam throws a mean westside.
such nimble fingers
I admire your fried ambitions. I’ve had deep-fried turkey, Mars Bars, guinea pig (in Ecuador) and discovered Scotch eggs just before that. Anything is possible when it comes to a deep-fryer.
haha the last picture
This is amazingly sick.
thats sick dude!

I’ll stick with baking………
Oh my God, that is awesome… I have to start my own Guyday… hilarious!
seems rather insane, but unique. just love your blog’s layout. be sure to drop by mine and give me your comments 😉
thanks! i’m using the DePo theme by Derek Powazek…
A) You are a legend
B) Love that straight gangsta guy is still posing in the last picture, though the camera person is clearly not interesting in taking his picture.. i love awkward moments such as these
C) Little Debbie is racist, see my most recent blog for more info..coincidence? I THINK NOT
Ha. It’s just a coincidence that I’m in a similar pose. Promise! I actually tried to duck out of the shot before it was snapped and was asked to walk back into the frame. I tried to do something goofy but kind of botched it.
awesome
ah fried death.
gotta love it.
can you deep fry ice cream?
i’m pretty sure it’d just be cream in the end, but maybe a choc ice…
either way, cool ass post.

“can you deep fry ice cream?”
Yup. Paula Deen has a recipe for deep-fried ice cream sandwiches, even: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/paulas-flyin-fryin-ufos-recipe/index.html
Fried ice cream is a mainstay in Mexican restaurants, but the trick is to not leave it in the fryer for more than a few seconds, and you want the ice cream to be as hard as possible beforehand to withstand it all.

Once a year – deep fried Oreos at the city festival – mmmmm, warm, the cookie gets slightly soft and the filling creamy, sometimes you just gotta have it! Great post…. North Coast Muse @ sally1029.wordpress.com
yeah! that’s how the vanilla sandwich cookie was. i guess that’s why everyone picked it as their favorite…
I haven’t had anything fried since my doctor, told me my cholesterol was over the top. This reminds me of Elvis’s fried peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich…

I am sorry to say that I have no plans to take your recipe to the kitchen, but I really enjoyed reading about your method and your pictures
I have always wanted to deep fry weird things like snack cakes. You have become my hero. Lol. Can you do something for me? Please, take a slice of pizza with any topping and deep fry that and tell me what it is like. That would be so cool.
ha. i’ve had several friends spend terms abroad in edinburgh, scotland and apparently they deep fry everything there… including cheeseburgers and PIZZA.
Has anyone tried deep fried Hostess Sno Balls?
i’ve actually never even had a sno ball. but that would be pretty epic…
I like that cake.. when I can to eat? 😆
hahaha this is still on the homepage!
