Recipe ingredients:
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2, 12 ounces, bags milk chocolate chips
Recipe method:
- 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. Do not use a plastic bowl for this.
- When the sugar solution comes to 270 degrees F, 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.
- 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 9 inch square 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 at medium power, stirring halfway through the heating time.
- Melt completely, but be careful not to overheat.
- Resting a bar on a fork and using your fingers if needed, dip each bar into the chocolate to coat completely and place on wax paper.
- Cool until firm at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
