IMHO I think you should wait to put the popsicle sticks in until after you've fried them. Use your tongs to hold/batter/toss in fryer (*toss is used figuratively, if your intellect tells you it's ok to literally throw something into hot oil, your school system is to blame not me). That way you won't have an oily handle to hold your tasty treat!

these instructions are following the tried and true methods of carnies everywhere that make dozens of these every hour. the preemptive sticking of the handle also serves as the handle in which to flip them over to cook the other side. anyone who has made standard funnel cakes with hot oil knows the splash that can come if you flip over to fast, and funnel cakes stay on top of the hot oil for the most part. these fried twinkies and coffeecakes are more like a stone being tossed into the lake complete with ripples....IF it wasn't for the handle in which you can grab while in the oil and "spin" it over.

wooooh boy! *drool starts pools in open mouth* what about candy bars, the mini ones you get for halloween....

[Turnpike7a]

it can be done, mostly we had to scale things down, using toothpicks, a much smaller pan, and a pair of spring tongs to make sure to grip the toothpick

Another thing you can do to make it a bit easier to cover in batter is to freeze the cakes overnight. Then you can dip them in batter without breaking.

[Turnpike7a]

that is a option that can be done if this is planned out, but one has to remember that your working with near boiling oil, something which ice and water particles do not mix.

Wow. That's deadly in a "serve this to your enemies" sort of way.

Yum, yum, yum! I'm going to the KY state fair tomorrow and plan on eating a lot of stuff like this. I only do it once a year, and tend to go a little crazy. :D
