Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Nougat Layer
- In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until the mixture bubbles and continue to cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla extract, mini marshmallows, and milk chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch pan and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Preparation of Caramel Layer
- Combine the unwrapped caramels and milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Pour the caramel over the nougat layer once it has set, spreading it evenly.
- Chill again until the caramel sets, about 30 minutes.
Chocolate Coating
- Melt the remaining chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, coating completely, and return to a parchment-lined tray.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, and let the bars set at room temperature or refrigerate until solidified.
Serving
- Once set, cut the layered mixture into 1-inch wide by 3-inch long bars.
Notes
Consider serving with vanilla ice cream or as festive treats during gatherings. These bars can be wrapped individually for gifts.
