Put down the deep fried milk and deep fried beer. Yes, they really do exist. There are no longer any limits on what we will cover in batter and fry from Doritos to ravioli to Cadbury creme eggs. While not everything that can be fried should be fried, the latest culinary invention with a vat of oil has been a bit of a phenomenon. Enter the chewy, golden nuggets that are deep fried Coca Cola. So far the deep fried Coke recipe has been an urban myth, a magical story of this gelatinous Coke infused snack. Until now. The recipe has been published by cookbook author/photographer team Denise Gee and Robert Peacock and is yours to take.
Abel Gonzales Jr., the inventor of fried Coke, debuted his fantastic fried creation at the Texas State Fair in Dallas and sold 16,000 cups in the first two weeks.
Since Abel's recipe is a secret, this comes pretty dadgum close to what he invented in 2006.
