Categories     Candies

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c karo syrup
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp peanut butter
pinch salt
3 c confectioners' sugar
35 caramels
1 c peanuts, chopped
12 oz chocolate morsels

Steps:

  • 1. Combine corn syrup, butter, vanilla, peanut butter and salt until creamy. Mix in the confectioners' sugar. When the mixture is very thick, press it into a lightly greased 9x9 inch pan. Refrigerate. Melt the caramels in a double boiler over hot water. When soft, mix in the peanuts. Pour over the mixture in the pan. Refrigerate. Melt the chocolate in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking time. When the mixture in the pan is firm, cut it into 2x1 inch bars. Spear a bar on a fork and dip into the melted chocolate. Tap to knock off any excess drips. If you like, roll into finely chopped peanuts. Place on waxed paper to cool to room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a smoother nougat, use a food processor to grind the almonds and sugar together until they are very fine.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the almonds and sugar by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If it gets too hot, it will turn brown and the nougat will be too hard.
  • To test the sugar syrup, drop a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • When you add the sugar syrup to the egg whites, do it slowly and in a thin stream. This will help prevent the egg whites from curdling.
  • Beat the egg whites and sugar syrup until they are stiff and glossy. This will take several minutes.
  • Fold in the almonds and chopped chocolate. Be careful not to overmix, or the nougat will become tough.
  • Pour the nougat mixture into a prepared pan and let it cool completely before cutting it into bars.
