3 Musketeers Bars
Recipe Ingredients:
| 3 | cup | 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 | bag | (12oz ea.) milk chocolate chips |
Recipe Instructions:
| 1. | In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Heat, stirring, to boiling, then continue to cook using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. |
| 2. | Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and form peaks. Don't use a plastic bowl for this. |
| 3. | When the sugar solution comes to 270 degrees F, or the soft-crack stage, remove from the heat and pour the mixture in thin streams into the egg whites, blending completely with a mixer set on low speed. Continue to mix until the candy begins to harden to the consistency of dough. This may take as long as 20 minutes. |
| 4. | At this point add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Remember that the candy must already be at the consistency of dough when you add the chocolate; the nougat will thicken no more after the chocolate is added. |
| 5. | When the chocolate is thoroughly blended and the nougat has thickened, press it into a greased 9x9-inch pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. |
| 6. | With a sharp knife, cut the candy in half down the middle of the pan. Then cut across into 7 segments to create a total of 14 bars. Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave for 2 minutes on half power, stirring halfway through the heating time. Melt completely, but be careful not to overheat. |
| 7. | Resting a bar on a fork dip each bar into the chocolate to coat completely and place on wax paper. Cool until firm at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Makes 14 candy bars. |
