It may not be as healthy as the advertisements used to claim, but it's a heck of a tasty treat!

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup (225g) of semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 cup (45g) of milk chocolate
2 Tbsp (15g) of vanilla malted milk powder
1.5 cups (114g) of Cool Whip
3/4 cup (200g) of sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup (58g) of butter
15 caramels
1.5 cups (284g) of milk chocolate
SUPPLIES
Some bowls
An electric mixer
A 6x6 pan
Some parchment
A spatula
A saucepan
Some jars
A cutting board
A couple of precision dipping tools
DIRECTIONS
Line the pan with parchment and set it aside.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup of milk chocolate for 30 seconds and give it a stir. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add the malted milk powder to the melted chocolate and mix on low to medium until combined, then on high for about 30 seconds.
Add the cool whip to the chocolate mixture and beat for about a minute, until it’s well combined and fluffy.
Spread the nougat into the prepared pan.
Put it in the freezer for about an hour.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sweetened condensed milk and butter.
Stir until the butter has melted, then add the caramels and turn the heat to medium low. Stir this continuously, so the caramels don’t burn.
When the caramels are fully melted, pour the mixture into some jars.
Let the caramel cool slightly, then spread some on top of the nougat layer.
Return it to the freezer for another hour, until the caramel is firm, but not hard.
Cut the candy into bars or squares and place them on a lined cutting board.
Melt or temper the remaining milk chocolate, then dip a bar into the chocolate, let it drain, then return it to the lined cutting board.
Repeat with the remaining bars, then leave them on the counter to set.

The chocolates look delicious! And that comercial with Buster Keaton reminded me of how much I liked his silent movies👍🏼

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Thanks! And Buster Keaton was amazing! 😁

[@NeboAllen]

Looks so tasty! My favorite candy bar is the Baby Ruth (hint hint😉)

[@RandyMakesCandy]

It's on my list, compadre. 😁

[@NeboAllen]

Yay! 😋@@RandyMakesCandy

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I've always been a huge Baby Ruth fan.

[@kirsten07734]

Yum! I see precision dipping tools are back. Maybe I just didn’t notice until now. Are they easier to use than the commercially made ones?

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I like them an awful lot. Plus, they're way funnier. 😁

[@rembautimes8808]

Thanks nice to watch

[@RandyMakesCandy]

My pleasure, compadre. 😊

[@chaosjihad6217]

Another success! Have you tried the Milky Way Midnight? The dark chocolate version is much better than the milk chocolate one, imho.

[@RandyMakesCandy]

In my book, dark chocolate is almost always better. 😊

[@chaosjihad6217]

Truth.

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Why use a microwave to melt chocolate? You can do that on the fire with the au bain marie method.

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I've tried the bain marie, as well as sous vide. If I'm careful, I've found that the microwave works just as well for me as either of the other methods, and is much faster.
