Time 3h10m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups white sugar
¼ cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
1 pinch salt
2 egg whites
⅔ cup almonds
35 caramels
2 tablespoons water
24 ounces milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and add salt. Heat to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads.
  • While the syrup is cooking, beat the egg whites in the metal bowl of an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. When the syrup is ready, set the mixer to low speed, remove the syrup from the heat, and pour it into the egg whites in a thin stream, blending continuously. Continue to mix until the nougat begins to thicken to the consistency of a soft dough, about 20 minutes. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. Mix in almonds and press nougat into prepared dish and chill in refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with 2 tablespoons water. Pour melted caramel over nougat. Chill in refrigerator 30 minutes.
  • Cut the chilled candy into 14 oblong bars with a sharp knife. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Dip bars into melted chocolate, let cool 2 hours on wire rack or waxed paper.

These almond bars were amazing! The crust was perfectly flaky and the filling was rich and chocolatey. I loved the combination of chocolate, caramel, and almonds. These bars were the perfect treat for my sweet tooth.

These almond bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time. Overall, I'm happy with how they turned out.

These almond bars were a bit of a disappointment. The crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was too sweet. I think I'll stick to my old almond bar recipe.
