Ever wonder how they make 3 Musketeers and wanted to make them yourself? Use this recipe to make those irresistable candy bars. This recipe uses light corn syrup, so it is a healthier version of other candy bars. Ingredients:
3 cups granulated sugar |
3/4 cup light corn syrup |
3/4 cup water |
1/8 tsp salt |
3 egg whites |
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 12 oz bags milk chocolate chips |
large saucepan |
candy therometer |
Directions:
1. Step 1
2. In a large saucepan on medium heat combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.
3. Stir to boiling then continue to cook using a candy thermometer.
4. Step 2
5. Beat egg whites until they are stiff and begin to form.
6. You'll want to use a glass bowl for mixing, plastic is not desirable.
7. When the sugar solution reaches 270 degrees F, remove from heat and slowly pour in with the egg whites in a mixer while blending slowly. Continue to blend until the mixture becomes the consistency of dough. This can take up to 20 minutes.
8. Step 3
9. Once the mixture reaches the consistency of dough, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
10. Do not add before the sugar/egg white mixture reaches a doughy consistency.
11. When the chocolate is blended and the nougat is thick, press into a 9x9 pan.
12. Step 4
13. Put the pan into the fridge until firm.
14. This should take about 30 minutes.
15. Step 5
16. With a sharp knife, cut the candy in half, then across in 7 segments to create 14 bars.
17. Step 6
18. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 2 minutes stirring half way.
19. Be careful not to over heat.
20. Step 7
21. Take a fork and stab a candy bar, then dip into the chocolate.
22. Place on wax paper to harden.
23. Repeat this step for all 14 bars.
24. Step 8
25. Let the bars harden and cool.
26. This should take about 1-2 hours. Yields 14 bars.
