Copycat 3 Musketeers Bars Recipe

How to make it

---

• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• 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.
• Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and form peaks.
• Don't use a plastic bowl for this.
• 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. At this point add the semisweet 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.
• 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.
• 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. 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.
