My hubby and I were watching food network the other night, like we do sometimes and it was all about deep fried foods.  I mean everything from hot dogs to candy bars.  One place even served deep fried Twinkies.  They looked delicious, so I searched around a little bit on the Internet and kept coming across the same basic recipe.  Tonight we tried it and loved it.  It's a new family favorite.  My daughter thinks it tastes a little bit like a funnel cake with cream inside.  My sister in law said she has had them before except with whipped cream and fresh raspberries on top.  Try them, you will love them.
