The Deep-Fried Mars Bar is a modern culinary legend that originated in Scotland. It was first created in 1992 at the 'Haven Chip Bar' (now the Carron Fish Bar) in Stonehaven. A student reportedly asked the shop owner to deep-fry a Mars Bar for a bet. The chocolate bar is chilled before being dipped in the same fish batter used for haddock and then deep-fried. The result is a molten chocolate and caramel center inside a hot, crispy shell. While it became a symbol of the 'Glasgow Effect' and poor dietary habits in the UK media, it has also become a quirky tourist attraction. Despite its fame, Mars Inc. has officially distanced itself from the dish, stating that deep-frying the bar is not in line with their commitment to healthy living.
