Description

Why buy store-bought candy bars when you can make your own delicious Homemade 3 Musketeers Bars? These sweet, fluffy treats taste just like the classic chocolate bar—soft, creamy nougat on the inside, coated with smooth milk chocolate on the outside. The best part? They’re super easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with friends and family!

Ingredients

• 6 cups milk chocolate chips (divided) 🍫
• 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
• 1 ½ tbsp vegetable shortening

Preparation Method

Prepare the Nougat Layer:
Melt 3 ½ cups of chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 20-30 seconds until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.

Using a hand mixer, fold the melted chocolate into the Cool Whip. Beat until well combined and fluffy. The mixture should be light and airy, similar to nougat.

Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Press the nougat mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm enough to slice.

Slice and Freeze:
Once set, remove the nougat from the pan and cut it into rectangular or bite-sized pieces—just like candy bars! Place the pieces back into the freezer for another 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

Coat with Chocolate:
Melt the remaining 2 ½ cups of chocolate chips along with the vegetable shortening in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy. The shortening helps thin the chocolate for easier coating.

Dip each piece of nougat into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the coated bars for 1 hour, or until the chocolate sets completely. Once chilled, your Homemade 3 Musketeers Bars are ready to enjoy!

Tips and Conclusion

For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before the chocolate sets, or drizzle with white chocolate for a decorative touch. These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week—if they last that long!

With just three simple ingredients, these Homemade 3 Musketeers Bars are proof that you don’t need much to create something magical. Light, creamy, and coated in rich milk chocolate, they’re guaranteed to become a household favorite. Make a batch today and share the joy of homemade candy with your loved ones!
