An Ultimate Guide to Deep-Fried Oreos
Oreos have been ruling the hearts since they first came off in public in 1912 by the National Biscuit Company bakery now known as “Nabisco.” It’s been more than 100 years today and this classic cookie is still one of the most famous and can be seen everywhere like grocery stores, cafes, supermarkets and restaurants.
People love experimenting with these cookies and that is why you can see Oreo shakes, deep-fried Oreos, Oreo waffles, pastries, cakes and much more in the menus today. In this blog, we’ll talk about one iconic snack that is every carnival and fair lover’s favorite and couldn’t resist drooling over after hearing the name – Deep-Fried Oreos.
What are deep-fried Oreos?
At any point in the city, you’ll find at least one guy who sells fresh hot fried Oreos every day, churning out hundreds and hundreds of them. These are one of the most beloved snacks and common street and fair food of the United States.
They are bite-sized appetizers that can be served as a tea-time snack or a sweet starter at a dinner party. Prepared using a Deep Fried Oreos mix and water to get an unwrinkled batter. Frozen Oreos are dunked in the batter and further transferred to the preheated oil. Crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside, these fried snacks are just what you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. They are then served warm and gooey with confectioner’s sugar on the outside.
The taste of these fritters depends on the kind of battery used and the mix by Crumbs Carnival Treats is just perfect for this snack. It helps in giving a state fair-style taste and the vibe, just without the rides and lights.

General deep-frying tips
We won’t say Deep Fried Oreos are too healthy but they are definitely delicious and can change your mood to jolliness. And it’s totally fine to grab some once in a while. To keep your fried food healthy implement the below-mentioned tips:
- Use high-quality vegetable oils stable at high temperatures, such as peanut and EVO oil. These oils are suitable for frying due to their low acidity.
- Limit snacking to once a week and limited portions.
- Reduce cooking time, avoid burning food and prefer golden frying. If the oil smokes and emits an acidic odour, throw that away.
- Deep-fry in a lot of oil and always use a thermometer to check the temperature. Do not let food be soaked in oil immediately creating a lipid barrier that hinders the penetration of the fat and preserves the nutrients.
- Use an excellent conductor like iron and steel with a smooth surface.
On the contrary

If the batter will be prepared just like we have mentioned above, you’ll literally love how soft and crisp they will come out.
