Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Nougat: In a large mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to mix until the texture is smooth and fluffy.
- Shape the Nougat: Transfer the nougat mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to flatten it to about 1/2-inch thick. Chill the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) over a double boiler, or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. Stir until smooth.
- Cut and Coat the Nougat: Once the nougat has firmed up, cut it into rectangular bars. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the dipped bars back on the parchment paper.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to harden by placing the bars in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Once set, enjoy your homemade 3 Musketeers Bars!
Notes
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- Variations: Add chopped nuts or drizzle with caramel for extra flavor!
- Tip: Ensure your nougat is whipped to a fluffy texture for the classic 3 Musketeers feel.
