This recipe is:
[recipe_key]Equipment
- sugar thermometer
- chocolate bar mold
Ingredients
Nougat
- 530 grams sugar
- 160 ml corn syrup
- 65 ml water
- 50 grams honey
- 1 egg white size L
- 25 grams confectioners' sugar
Caramel sauce
- 250 grams sugar
- 175 ml cream
- 25 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Filling and topping
- 240 grams dark chocolate
- 80 grams nuts
Notes
- Chocolate is best-melted au-bain-marie. This means you use a heatproof bowl and hang it above boiling water. In that bowl, you can melt the chocolate without burning. You could also use a microwave. Set it to 600 Watt and heat the chocolate for 30 seconds. Stir and, if the chocolate isn't melted yet, repeat this step.
- Use a sugar thermometer with this recipe.
- To make these bars use a chocolate bar mold (Silicone mold).
- Place the Silicone mold when it needs to stiffen in the freezer. That way you can take the bars more easily out of the mold.
- For covering the Snickers bars with chocolate without the mess: put your rack on a baking plate covered with aluminium foil.
Instructions
Nougat
- Put 2⅓ cups sugar, water, corn syrup and honey in a pan.
- Heat over medium heat to 262 degrees Fahrenheit (128 degrees Celsius).
- When the hot syrup mixture has the right temperature, remove it from the heat.
- Put the egg whites in a bowl and mix, together with the sugar, until stiff.
- Pour in the warm syrup mixture, while mixing the egg whites on a low speed.
- Add the confectioners' sugar to the bowl.
- Keep mixing until the nougat has cooled to room temperature.
- Remove the nougat from the bowl and knead slightly.
- Divide the nougat and fill the mold.
- Let the nougat set in the refrigerator for 8 hours and then remove them from the mold. You will need it again in a minute.
Caramel
- Place a pan with the cream and butter on medium heat and let it get warm. Turn off the heat.
- In a second pan, you add the sugar for the caramel. Heat it to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius).
- Pour the cream butter mixture into the sugar. Note: this can splash so do it very carefully.
- Stir the sauce well until you have no lumps. Put on the heat for 1 minute until you have a creamy mixture.
- Whisk the sea salt into the caramel.
- Pour the caramel into the molds (about ¼ inch (½ cm thick)).
- Spread the cashew nuts into the caramel, press them slightly.
- Then gently press the nougat onto the caramel (not too hard otherwise the caramel will rise.
- Leave to set in the freezer for 2 hours.
Coating
- Melt the chocolate au-bain-marie (see tips).
- Place the candy bars on a rack.
- Brush the bottom with melted chocolate.
- Then pour the rest of the chocolate over the bars. Repeat this until the bars are well covered.
- Let the bars sit for an hour until they are well set.
