This year we decided to deep fry snickers, mars and almond joy. We froze the candy bars, made a nice funnel cake batter, dipped and deep fried in oil heated to 350 degrees. Sure beat any sufganya I had this hanukkah. I’ve always found the donuts here to be subpar. This year we decided to deep fry snickers, mars and almond joy.

This weekend at The Hazon Food Conference, Rabbi and Chef, Gil Marks (author of The Olive Trees and Honey cookbook), gave a cooking demonstration of sephardic chanukah foods. He did make a fried doughnut but, as you said, it was nothing like sufganiyot. His doughnuts were much more like funnel cakes - soft mounds of dough dropped into a deep pot of oil until browned and then covered in powdered sugar...mmmm Fascinating post, Jeff.
