3 musketeers bars

How To Make 3 musketeers bars

• Step 1
  In a large sauce pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt.
• Step 2
  Heat, stirring, to boiling, then continue to cook using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
• Step 3
  Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and form peaks. Don't use a plastic bowl for this.
• Step 4
  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.
• Step 5
  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.
• Step 6
  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.
• Step 7
  When the chocolate is thoroughly blended and the nougat has thickened, Press it into a greased 9x9−inch pan.
• Step 8
  Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Step 9
  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.
• Step 10
  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.
• Step 11
  Resting a bar on a fork dip each bar into the chocolate to coat completely and place on wax paper.
• Step 12
  Cool until firm at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Makes 14 candy bars.
