Description
Homemade copycat 3 Musketeers candy bars with a light and fluffy nougat filling coated in chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Continue to heat without stirring until the syrup reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer.
- While the syrup heats, beat the egg white in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Slowly and carefully pour the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream into the beaten egg white while continuing to beat on high speed.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and glossy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Spread the nougat mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Let it set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Once set, lift the nougat out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into desired bar shapes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
- Dip each nougat bar into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place coated bars on parchment paper and let the chocolate set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer for accurate sugar syrup temperature.
- Be careful when pouring hot syrup into egg whites.
- The nougat can be sticky; dusting your knife with powdered sugar can help when cutting.
