Question
I want to eat Bissli at the end of a bread meal. Do I need to recite 'Borei Minei Mezonot' for it during the meal?
Answer
The types of Mezonot that require a blessing during the meal are: deep-fried Bissli, Kabukim, and Kariot (and chocolate balls).
Source
Bissli: When it is deep-fried and less than a k'zayit, it always requires the blessing 'Borei Minei Mezonot', as explained in Shulchan Aruch and Rema, Siman 168, paragraph 13.
Kariot and Kabukim: Since they meet the three conditions of being crumbly, filled, and kneaded, as explained in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 168, paragraph 7.
Chocolate balls according to the law of Chavitza, as explained in Siman 168, paragraph 10.
