But when she was bad she was horrid….
If you are a fan of LOST, let me just say that contrary to popular belief, I am not the black smoke. I am not spreading evil throughout the world. I am just spreading it to your thighs. 
So many a person wrote that they wanted to know when would I be making a Cadbury Caramel Egg cupcake like I did with the Crème Egg. And though it was tempting, I just didn’t want to make the same kind of thing again.
One of my fellow Seattle area food bloggers, Lara of Cook and Eat, wrote a doughnut book. She was all happy that it was pre-listed on Amazon.com (as she should be) and it got me thinking about deep fried things. The British love to deep fry stuff. One of my favorite treats at the pub are things called Scotch Eggs. They are hard boiled eggs, wrapped in sausage meat, breaded and then deep fried. They may sound odd but boy are they good. And after a few pints, they are really good.
These deep fried Caramel Eggs are crossbreed between the idea of the doughnut and the Scotch Egg. There isn’t much too these. Just some funnel cake batter that I make with brown sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup instead of granulated sugar and well, some frozen Caramel Eggs. They held up quite nicely. Even the ones that didn’t get fully coated in the batter. I also experimented with the milk chocolate covered Peeps. Which sadly did not turn out as well.
These are about as good as you would expect. I mean, doughnut batter wrapped around oozy milk chocolate and caramel. Okay, on second thought, maybe I am the black smoke. Hmmm. Now that would be a LOST plot twist. 
It’s Not Swimsuit Season Yet Deep Fried Cadbury Caramel Eggs
6-8 Cadbury Caramel Eggs (frozen)
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
2 TBSP dark brown sugar
1 TBSP Lyle’s Golden Syrup
1 ¼ cup flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
In a deep skillet, heat about four cups of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Test the temperature by dropping a pinch of flour into the hot oil. If it sizzles right away without smoking, it’s perfect.
Beat egg and milk. Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl and slowly add to the egg mixture, beating until smooth.
Dip frozen Caramel Eggs into batter.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes, remove from the oil when golden brown and crispy and place on paper towel to get excess oil.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
P.S. No one from Cadbury has paid me to promote their product. Just kind of obsessed. But if they want to send me free chocolate, feel free Cadbury, feel free.

March 29th, 2010 at 3:11 pm

March 29th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Oh Good Lord you evil woman! Seriously, right to my thighs. It doesn’t help that I just made a note to “figure out what to do with the six bottles of Lyle’s Golden Syrup” I got off Amazon.
March 29th, 2010 at 3:47 pm

March 29th, 2010 at 3:54 pm

March 29th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
You are bad. Really bad. But oh. So. Good.
March 29th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Oh, man! You are pure evil!
March 29th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
OMG!!!! I have been stalking your blog for a little while (great considering I am supposed to be following Weight Watchers!!) I am definitely going to try these egg donuts – Cadbury features heavily at Easter here in Australia. Thanks for the inspiration (as well as the key lime cupcakes, I just look at those and drool!)
March 29th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Oh my…these look amazing. Zillions of calories. As if Cadbury eggs needed to get better!
March 29th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Sure, you are evil. An evil genius!!
March 29th, 2010 at 6:34 pm
Whoa! Practically speechless.
March 29th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
This is explosive!!!!
March 29th, 2010 at 7:26 pm

March 29th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
That’s just wrong all in a good way though. Yum!
March 29th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
What I wouldn’t give to spend 5 minutes in your brain. Genius. Pure genius!
March 29th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Woah! Intense!! This looks too good for words.
March 29th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
I think you’ve given birth to something here (ok, bad pun). These should be sold at every country fairground in the world! They should be called Evil Stinkbombs so that I won’t want to buy them.
March 29th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Yum! I live 2.5 hours away from you. Do you deliver?
March 30th, 2010 at 1:07 am
I’m frightened…. but intrigued and awed at the same time.
March 30th, 2010 at 1:16 am
hehe love the idea! you can never go wrong with something deep fried that involves melted chocolate. yum!
March 30th, 2010 at 6:19 am
Honestly, I am so bored with LOST right now but I feel obligated to watch it till the end because I’ve invested in the previous seasons. At this point I would really welcome your twist
March 30th, 2010 at 7:00 am
Words cannot express how yummy these look!! Great idea!!
March 30th, 2010 at 8:00 am
Oh my! Lovin this post!

March 30th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Oh my, you are a bad lady! They look decadent & I keep scrolling back up to look at the pics…sigh
March 30th, 2010 at 10:01 am
There is no question in my mind that these are over the top delicious. I would eat one, if not two!
March 30th, 2010 at 10:53 am
LOL “it’s not swimsuit season yet”. Those look incredible. Like-drive-to-the-store-and-buy-the-ingredients-right-this-second incredible!
March 30th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
Between these and the cupcakes Cadbury should at least consider sending you a nice Easter basket full of eggs! Everything looks so yummy!
March 30th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
I don’t, for one minute, beleive your ever BAD. If eating good food, even when you should not, makes you bad I am standing right beside you.
March 30th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
oh you shouldn’t have. but since you did, so will i!
what kind of oil did you use? thanks!
March 30th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
I must say, you are my new hero! I like to fry just about anything, mac and cheese, brownies (ball up brownies around 60%cacao dark chocolate chunks… Yumm!) But these eggs look fantastic. Congrats for taking fried desserts to a new fabulous level!
March 30th, 2010 at 3:36 pm
OMG! Yum!!!!
March 30th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Seriously. Your pictures alone make me gain 5 pounds. These look amazing!

March 31st, 2010 at 2:27 am

March 31st, 2010 at 8:46 am
It looks sooo devilishly good! My sister would love this!
March 31st, 2010 at 11:31 am
Ha, now that is down right devilish! I think it might be a good thing for my health that these aren’t vegan…
March 31st, 2010 at 12:50 pm
This erases any doubt – you are evil. But in a good way.
I love that you have so much fun playing in the kitchen.
March 31st, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t fried Cadbury eggs the reason for Jesus’s rising?
April 1st, 2010 at 6:19 am
I can’t. I just can’t!!! You can’t make me. You can’t tempt me!
well…maybe just one.
April 1st, 2010 at 12:24 pm
That looks orgasmic.
April 1st, 2010 at 1:00 pm
OOOOOHHHHH NOOOOOOO!♥♥♥
Hubbba…hubbaa…hubbaa

April 2nd, 2010 at 5:34 am
Oh you are sooooo bad! Bet my kids would love these. Who am I kidding? To heck with my kids – I would love these!
April 2nd, 2010 at 5:44 am
you should submit to thisiswhyyourefat.com
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:28 am
I can’t believe how amazing these look! You could set up a stand at your next local fair and make a mint on these!!! Wonderful pictures!
April 2nd, 2010 at 9:49 am
Boy I’d love to have one of those! It would send me into a bliss-filled sugar induced coma for at least 3 hours!
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Awesome! Mind you, I think my arteries clogged up just reading this post!
April 2nd, 2010 at 2:31 pm
The caramel centre has the Peabody signature!
It’s funny you should mention the Scotch egg as your evil inspiration. The deep fried Mars Bar is another favourite Scottish treat. I personally found it OTT…but you might like it, Mikey!
Happy Easter Pea!
April 2nd, 2010 at 8:38 pm
You ARE evil! Wow… what made you think of trying this out? So fantastic!
April 3rd, 2010 at 2:54 am
Spoiler alerts abound!
That looks insanely decadent. I’m glad just looking doesn’t add any calories!
April 3rd, 2010 at 2:13 pm
[...] Sinful Deep-fried Cadbury Caramel Egg [...]
April 3rd, 2010 at 3:47 pm
it’s actually the SCOTTISH that like to deep-fry things… marsbars and the like… i was horrified to find deep-fried toast at a popular sunday breakfast venue – it was the ONLY bread they offered… not good. if i want to pile on pounds, then i’d rather do it with your fried caramel eggs
April 3rd, 2010 at 4:15 pm
Oh my gawd…..I am so trying these…. Thanks for Posting this recipe…
April 4th, 2010 at 3:31 am
This is intense! Looks so good Peabody! Spread more “evil” this way please
April 4th, 2010 at 9:34 pm

I just did a tour of the cadbury factory here in New Zealand, they have waaay more chocolate bar flavours here, it’s great!
April 25th, 2010 at 4:11 pm
